We had a question! A concerned reader wanted to know what factors that insurers use to calculate the cost of life insurance. The previous link provides a good overview by the way.
Of course, your own premium will depend upon the amount of coerage you apply for. Beyond that, the type of life insurance you want will make a difference too. Obviously, cash value life insurance like whole life or universal life, will cost more than term costs for the same amount of face value. A $100,000 whole life insurance benefit will be more expensive than a $100,000 term life benefit. That is because term policies are temporary, while whole life covers you for your whole life. It is also because whole life can build up a cash value, while term usually does not.

However, as much as we are all struggling to watch our expenses and keep our savings, we do find that some people do ok during a recession, and some people even prosper! What is the difference between those that can barely survive the crisis, and those that make out ok? I think the difference is being, just like a Boy Scout, prepared!

However, the reality is that funerals are very expensive in the US, and when people do not plan for the inevitable, a sad time can be even more stressful.

Most of us know that we have something called a credit report on file somewhere. We also know that credit report affects our ability to obtain financing, and it also affects the interest rate we pay if we can get credit. This impacts our home mortgage, car loans, and other credit. However, even though we have some vague idea that we have a credit score and credit report, we really do not not understand it.

A good friend of mine had been a very productive team member at his job for years. In fact, his team even got recognized for a couple of patents, and he was certain that his company valued the contribution he made. A few short months after he brought home his certificate and bonus money, the company decided to outsource his group. He arrived at work on Friday and was told he would not need to report in on Monday. Needless to say, he was unprepared for the job loss, financially or emotionally, and it was a devestating event in his life.
