How do I help families not see life insurance as a bill but rather protection for their family? I am on a crusade to help families become properly protected (create an immediate estate) in case of a loved ones untimely death. Of lately, prospects see life insurance as another bill. Although it is; can any life insurance agent please share with me how they get around to making sales in the life insurance industry? Thank you.

My daughter’s father family does not acknowledge her even though they know of her and the father does not even talk to her. He also has two other kids. I told him I wanted to get a life insurance policy just for her on him in case something happens to him she doesn’t have to be without, I figure that’s the least he could do since he is in the arrears for child support. He wants a 250,000, and I told him no I want atleast a million because you have done nothing for her which she is 12. Should I get term or life.

My husband and I had a huge fight about life insurance last night. So much so that I am seriously questioning his morals, compassion, and his feelings of caring for me.

Yesterday we received a letter in the mail from our bank, stating that we could get $300K in term life insurance for $80/month. Right now we are both unemployed due to our companies downsizing, and we both had life insurance policies through our employers that ended when we were laid off. When I saw the ad from the bank, I mentioned it to him and told him I thought it might be a good idea for us to have life insurance without relying on our employers for it. He disagreed and said it would be a waste of $80/month right now that we need for other things and that he has no reason to have to make sure at our age (37) that his wife is “set for life” in the event of his death. I was blown away by this, not only because I was raised that spouses are supposed to watch out for each other and make sure each is provided for as needed, but also because if he were to die, I have a disease that has already caused me to have to go on disability once in my twenties, and it could happen again, and also because I only earn half what he does. I couldn’t believe he would think that he should take precautions to take care of me. Here is what ensued:

This is not about the money, or me getting some sort of high dollar amount when he dies. It’s about having a sense of morals and responsibility for your beloved spouse and taking care of that person. I tried explaining this to him repeatedly, and he just kept telling me that life insurance is a waste of money at our age and that it is selfish of me to expect him to “set me up for life” once he is dead and gone. I mentioned that there is the possibility that I could easily become unable to work and provide for myself due to my Diabetes and the complications that can come with it, and that even if I am able to work, I make about half what he does and would not be able to continue to pay the bills, etc. He’s always made almost exactly double what I earn. I am astonished at his lack of sensitivity in telling me that I am a “gold digger” and “selfish” because I expect him to feel a sense of responsibility, caring, and compassion towards me enough to WANT to protect me financially in the event of his death. He just doesn’t get it. He keeps telling me that I am trying to take advantage of him and that it’s ridiculous to expect him to want to protect me by having life insurance when we are only in our late 30′s. He says that if he died tomorrow, I would still be able to work and provide for myself, so why should he do it for me by giving me “some huge pay-out to make your life easier”? He says that the money I could get from selling our house (right now we are in the process of looking and have about $100K in savings to put towards a house–this would go to me if we didn’t have a house yet) would cover any debts and funeral expenses. But then where would I live? What if the real estate market is flat at the time he dies and I can’t get enough for the house to cover everything? He says this is not his problem at that point. He also says once he is working again, the life insurance he’ll likely have through his employer should do the job.

This is really not about me having millions of dollars if he were to die. What aggravates me, saddens me, and has me wanting to run to the divorce court is his overall lack of compassion and lack of caring for me that he would basically have a resentful and bitter attitude towards making sure I am cared for in the event of his death. Calling me a “gold digger” because I think life insurance is a good idea? What kind of husband doesn’t want to make sure his wife will be okay under any and all circumstances?! I am his wife, therefore shouldn’t he want to make sure I am taken care of in every way he can? I want to make sure of that for him.

I seriously can’t believe I married such a selfish, cold person! Am I over reacting? Please be direct, I appreciate it!

I am 37, healthy male overall was approved for 300,000.00 life insurance paying 30 dollars monthly with ING from Bank of America. Is this a good company go to insurance with? Any recommendations or bad experience with this company?
There is something in the 1st page where I would be supposed to send the check, which says “the company reserve the right to increase the premiums at any time just giving 30 days notice.” This I don’t like it to much?
Please tell me your thoughts. I am being trying to look for site or stories about it on the internet but nothing so far

My mother has a term life insurance policy and has named me and 3 brothers beneficiaries. She is 75 years old and fighting skin cancer after surviving lung cancer. She cannot afford the policy so she said she would drop the policy unless I wanted to take over the premium. My wife thinks I am crazy to do this.
