Good amount. Whole life. Very old policy. The Guardian.

Although grateful I wish they would have bought ESSO. Now Chevron.

We have 100k each whole life which doubles with accidental death for $80/month (Alstate). Have had it almost 25 years. Have 750K on me and 250k on her term for $76/month (Northwest). It is 10 years (term) plus ten year renewal. Need to renew in the next year. Seeing some of the responses to this thread I might have been getting hosed on my term.

"DC1", I think you mentioned that you are in this space. Are there carriers that you would recommend and also those that you would avoid?

Always buy term only. I got 30 year 1 million at age 32 for 1100 a year.

I also have $500k through work at a few hundred a year. Great deal on that.

Don’t forget to update your beneficiaries when you have kids et…

Best part is that Term policy payouts are tax free.

I’m a captive agent, but the big companies like prudential, NYL, etc are all pretty similar. I would shy away from these fly by night companies like ladder, ethos and other internet based companies.

Take a look at historical dividend payouts, financial strength, guaranteed values.

2 million 30 year term, about $100 a month. Just to ensure the kids get through college.

Accidental death is stacked in the insurance companies favor as far as odds go.


What everyone should buy as much as they can is Uninsured Motorist Coverage.

If you drive in Louisiana you will us this eventually. Most folks are underinsured liability wise or uninsured.

$750k 30 year term runs about $1300 a year. Expires when I’m 61. Took it out when the kids were little and I had a mortgage and was paying private school tuition. Now house is paid and kids in public schools as we moved but still keep the policy

Most OT players got so much money they don’t need insurance.

We are talking about life insurance. It’s the only insurance you’re guaranteed to use.

Insurance companies are so profitable because they pay out so many death benefits.

They are profitable because of all the term policies where people don’t die and the policies where the client stops paying premiums after a few years. If you stop paying your premiums, that’s how they “win”.
