Life insurance is complicated! Who can help me?

April 5, 2012

Most people do not love buying life insurance. Have you ever heard someone say, “Guess what? I’m so excited – this weekend, my wife and I are going to BUY LIFE INSURANCE. Woooo!”

The #1 reason why buying life insurance is not a popular pastime? It’s complicated. It’s difficult. It’s hard to get “plain English” explanations for what it’s all about. It’s hard to know if you’re getting a good deal and it’s hard to understand the different options and benefits and price points from all the various life insurance companies.

3 occasions to buy life insurance later in life

February 27, 2012



It often makes sense for people to buy life insurance later in life. For example, many people get divorced and re-married in their 50s and 60s. Many people are forming blended families with stepchildren, and/or starting new families at age 40 or later. None of these situations are like the traditional example of a 25-year-old married couple buying life insurance before they have their first baby.

If you are part of a couple that is marrying later in life, or living together and sharing expenses without being married, then it might make sense for you to approach life insurance in a new way.
Here are a few examples of occasions where it makes sense to buy life insurance later in life:

Buying life insurance like Warren Buffett

February 21, 2012



Warren Buffett is one of the world’s greatest investors, and he has a quote about his philosophy of buying investments: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

This means that a low-priced stock is not always the best value – and a high-priced stock might still have a lot of room to grow.

Just as Warren Buffett takes this “value” approach to buying stocks, you should also think about “what you pay” and “what you get” when it comes to buying life insurance.

We hear all the time from customers who call asking for the cheapest life insurance we can find.

February 20, 2012


Right now, many of us are fighting to make it through the “I want it now” culture that tells us to spend today and worry about the consequences tomorrow. It’s just so easy to start living outside our means, hoping that eventually something will come through for us and help us get out from under a huge pile of debt that sometimes we get over our heads before we know what happened.

January 31, 2012



Although we all seem to put off talking about our death, it remains a fact of life that sooner or later it will occur. Death can occur at any time and it is not only associated with old age as many in the younger community seem to believe. For this reason we should all be prepared for when the inevitable finally happens, this includes the young, who are heavy with the responsibilities of earning a living to care for a growing family, as well as the aged who are more conscious of their time with us running out in the not too distant future.

Get it while you’re young (life insurance that is)

January 17, 2012

Most feel that they have a pre-destined checklist to complete before their “younger days” are over. I don’t have to divulge into details, but this list oftentimes this involves adventurous activities and slightly risky behavior that would otherwise be taboo in your adult life.

But here’s an item usually never inherently found on a youthful checklist; buying life insurance.

This is is one of the best things to “do while you’re young.” If you’re a young couple just starting out in life, you usually don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about death and dying. (And that’s perfectly natural and healthy – spending too much time thinking about death can be a sign of depression.)

Outliving Life Insurance, with David Techner

January 17, 2012

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!
