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.

Why are there so many health questions when I apply for life insurance?

November 29, 2011

Part of getting life insurance involves filling out a questionnaire about your health history and physical condition. Some people might be worried about this process, or unsure of why we ask so many health questions when applying for life insurance. Why do life insurance companies need to know so much about your health? Isn’t this kind of invasive or creepy or “wrong” somehow?

Like so many questions in life, there is a short answer and a long answer.

The short answer is: Life insurance companies need to know how healthy you are so they can decide what kind of life insurance policy to offer you.
