Buyer's Guide to Life Insurance
Death is a fact of life, nothing is more certain in life than
death; yet, this is a subject that no one likes to talk about. Some
people go as far as even denying the inevitable that is death. Wouldn't
you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing, after you are gone,
your husband, wife, children, or even maybe your grandchildren will be

you want to leave them with the financial stability to pay for funeral
expenses, a mortgage, your children's college tuition, and other

Secret #1: Don't spend too much time on a life insurance quote.
Do not be fooled by the low price quotes you get online - they don't apply to you unless you are extremely healthy. Statistically only 10% of people who apply actually get the lowest priced policy. The premium you end up paying has nothing to do with the initial quote you get online or from an agent. It is amazing to me how often I see people getting duped by an agent who quotes company X at a lower price than another agent.

When designed properly, indexed universal life insurance can be a
great savings vehicle for investors who have a good ability to save.

that allows a policy holders to build a cash value. The cash value can
be invested in a fixed account that often has a guaranteed minimum
interest rate or the owner can derive their returns based on several
different equity indexes.
There are several crediting methods that can be used to generate returns on the cash inside the policy. The most common method I see is an annual point to point calculation based on the return of the S&P 500 with a cap rate that protects your principal and limits your upside.
