re: Life Insurance

I would say those are pretty fair rates. I'm guessing you are both fairly healthy, non smokers?


Definitely try and talk to somebody from New York Life and Northwestern Mutual if nobody else. I consider them some of the most solid companies financially, which is very important when considering where to get LI. Those are two of the "big dogs" if you will, and it is always good to look around and see where you feel most comfortable. Talking to somebody at Northwestern will be the only way you will be able to see what they have as no outside agents can broker their products.

You definitely want to make sure that whoever you go with, you are comfortable with the agent, and he is somebody you believe will be willing to get together with you regularly and not sell you and forget about you.
