How To Shop For Life Insurance

Shopping for Life Insurance can be tricky, especially when doing your research online. There are hundreds of life insurance websites offering hundreds of different forms of help.

The most common is the "Free Quote". Be sure that when you get your free quote you ask what rating they are quoting you! 99% of the time they will quote you the best rating no matter what your health is like. Then when you go through the medical and the underwriting the quoted premium they gave you will change.

Always make sure you research and look for the best companies in your area. Check AMBEST for financial rating, debt rating, credit rating, and deposit ranking. This will tell you which companies are strong and which are not. When investing in life insurance you want to make sure the company you pick will be around to pay the policy when the time comes!

Finally make sure that when shopping online you get in touch with "Live" help. Furthermore make sure that the "Live" help is a Licensed Professional and not a hired telemarketer!

Should I Put Insurance On My Children?

Insuring your child is called Juvenile Life Insurance. Insuring your child is always a good idea as well as a good investment. One of the advantages of insuring your child is that you will be able to lock in their insure ability. Later on, no matter what there medical history or condition they will still be insurable.

Another advantage is the savings. When insuring a child you get a policy that has cash value, so as you are paying into it, you are also setting up a savings. Then the money that you accumulate can be used for anything you need it for. (college, car, insurance, emergency ext.)

The best part about Insuring your child is that the premiums are very low because they are so young. As they get older those premiums DO NOT change. So when they are 18-25 they are still paying the same amount as when they were 1-6. Also you can set it up so that the policy will be paid in full by a certain age. In most cases by the time your child is 20-25 they will have a full paid up policy that will cover then for their entire life.

Should You Trust Online Insurance Quotes?

In most cases when you get an online insurance quote, you get quoted at the best health rating. Unfortunately not everyone is able to actually get this rating after the insurance company does the medical exam, and underwriting.

This is why you should always get a consultation. In person they will be able to give you a more accurate quote, and they will be able to explain which type of insurance is best for you and your loved ones.

If the price of the quote sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

Annuities vs CD's which is better?

Annuities and CDs are similar they are both safe, secure investments with guaranteed rate of returns based on interest rates.

Both CD's and Annuities are offered by large financial institutions, CDs are issued by banks, Annuities are offered by insurance companies.

The main differences between Annuities and CDs is that Annuities carry several advantages such as:

1. Generally Higher returns
2. Tax-Deferral
3. Liquidity

CDs do have FDIC protection to guard against Bank or banking industry failure, but Annuities also have safety measures put in place by the state to ensure Insurance companies have reserve pools in place.

FDIC insures CD's for $250,000 per depositor
New York State insures Annuities for $500,000 per depositor
(plus backing of the company you buy from)

Annuties being tax deferred is a big advantage, the deferred tax on your interest remains in the investment earning you more and more money, instead of being paid out to state and federal tax agencies on a yearly basis. Making your gains much higher.

CDs do not allow you to withdraw any money during the selected term. Period. However Annuities have provisions that allow you to withdraw money, generally 10% of your account value annually plus many contracts allow you to remove the earned interest on a monthly basis.

Annuities get two thumbs up!!

Why buy Life Insurance

Many people think they life insurance is the worst investment you can make. I don't know how this notion got into people heads. From an investors stand point, life insurance is the only investment you can make that will ALWAYS pay out more then you put in. Not to mention that the internal interest rates on policies that have cash value are much higher then any interest rates given currently given by banks.
