Outliving Life Insurance, with David Techner

January 17, 2012

After watching this interview, you might want to think twice about whether your family is protected or not.

We recently had the opportunity to speak with funeral director of IRA Kaufman, David Techner. He offers some very personal, insightful, and interesting stories on his life and his experience with the deceased. As it turns out, his experience is far-more rooted in the lives and families of the deceased than the actual deceased.

Check out the video interview below. After watching, you’ll probably want to consider acquiring changes to your life insurance (or getting it if you have no life insurance at all). If that’s the case, reach out to us at MyInsuranceExpert.com – we’ll take care of all your life insurance needs!

The weekend’s coming. You’re looking for something to do on the town. Maybe a nice time out with your family, maybe a hot date. Whatever the case, chances are you’ll be eating out.

If you’re trying to improve your personal finances and also live a healthier lifestyle, the best place to start is at the dinner table. The old saying “You are what you eat,” is also true for your personal finances. Saving money and eating healthy are often two sides of the same coin.

Credit Card Travel Accident Insurance: What Does It Cover?

January 11, 2012
By Guest Contributor Michael Dolen, founder of CreditCardForum.

What are the odds of dying during travel? Obviously this is an unpleasant topic to think about – but if you have a family – you owe it to them to at least consider the odds.

Nowadays many credit cards include travel accident insurance as a benefit. This is essentially a limited form of life insurance, as it covers you in the event of death or dismemberment during some types of travel. But if you think the coverage it offers is on-par with regular life insurance, then think again.

Success Story – “Raise Your Glass”

December 21, 2011
All through November and December we made a great push to raise as much money as possible for the “Bear Hug Foundation,” an organization that sends underprivileged, at-risk, and developmentally challenged children to a summer camp in northern Michigan. It provides them with an unforgettable experience to learn, grow, and to just have fun being kids (without the stress of their regular lives).
We are proud to announce that in one month we raised just under $21,000 in total donations. This, combined with Bear Hug’s other earnings, will send more than 120 kids to camp.  A great way to enrich our community is by helping local organizations that empower our youth, and Bear Hug does exactly that.
We’re so thankful for the support of our friends, families, fellow Tribe members, and family companies for all of their support. At a time of year where rampant consumption is encouraged in droves it’s easy to lose sight of what’s most important. We’re proud to have turned what would have been a regular holiday party into a month-long event of charity. That’s not to say that we didn’t have a fun and crazy party the night of the event *(more on that below).
Here is a list of most of the organizations and people that generously donated their funds and services to our party:
-Marilyn’s American Tavern (419 Monroe St, Detroit)
-F.A.C.E.S.
-Fidelity
-ING
-Boru
-AIG American General Insurance
-Vintage Audio
-Eastwood Photography
-Dominos
-Fathead
-Patron
-Washington National
-Simply Delish Cupcakes
* But what’s a party without plenty of hilarious/embarrassing pictures?

Want to find low-cost life insurance? Stop smoking.

December 19, 2011

One of the most important health questions that people get asked when they apply for life insurance is, “Have you used a tobacco product in the last 12 months?” If you answer “Yes,” that means that in the eyes of your life insurance company, you qualify as a smoker, and that means that your life insurance company is going to expect you to pay a higher life insurance premium than you would have to pay if you were a non-smoker.
