Heard of Term Life Insurance? Here's my tip of the day...

Those with a mortgage or other debts to protect family or business partners from should consider a different type of term policy.

Most people have never heard of this...

It's called a Decreasing Benefit (or staggered) term policy.

The benefit decreases periodically along with the cost - which can make sense to protect debt that is decreasing over time as well.

Doing this can save a sizeable amount of money right away and long-term... while still providing enough protection.

Did you know? There are whole life plans that don't require a lifetime of payments.

Why does this matter?

➡️ For kids and young adults, it's possible to lock in a low rate.
➡️ Be done with payments before family-building years or retirement.
➡️ Have the protection (and building cash value) for a lifetime.

Don't be afraid of learning more about life insurance or how it works. Just learn, if nothing else.

The "what if" scenario is scary, but I assure you the aftermath for unprotected families is far worse.

Whether to make sure the family can stay in the home without a mortgage payment, or simply to pay for a funeral.

I've talked to about 15 people this month (not just for work) who have come down with COVID - mild and severe - old and young.

I've seen people lose their employer life insurance after missing too many weeks of work (often COVID related) or who have retired and ended up unprotected.

Talk to someone, ask Google, or ask me.

Been a while since posting. The last few months have been very busy and educational. I've put protection in place for 25-30 families - often young families - with the sober first-hand experience of also seeing that same type of financial protection having to be utilized for existing members here at CFL.

We aren't taught about life insurance in school or college as a piece of the financial planning puzzle. It's just as important as planning your retirement accounts.
