concerned about getting their money’s worth on a policy. There are so

life, universal life and more – that it can be a little intimidating.Consumers who are looking to buy term life insurance or another form of income- replacement protection may have concerns about what they are getting for their money and if they are getting the best deal. Especially in today’s tougher economic times, when millions of American families are watching their spending more than ever, who wants to spend their hard-earned money on products or services that are not a good value?
Deciding to buy a term life insurance policy can be a sound financial decision that helps protect your family’s financial future for years to come. A term life insurance policy may be reliable protection for your loved ones in the event you die.

I recently just helped my buddy who is a JMO (Junior Military
Officer) pick a term life insurance policy. I am not an agent, but have
a background in finance, and thought I could be of some help to my
friend. I personally, have not had the chance to look into health
insurance for myself (single, and no dependents). But when I was
looking, and helping my friend I was surprised with the amount of
questions I had after looking over different policies. He decided on a
term life insurance policy for a period of ten years (this took him a
few years beyond his commitment to the military). I cannot stress
enough to everyone out there that you need to DO YOUR HOMEWORK. We got
him about 500,000 dollars in life insurance on top of his SGLI coverage
at 400,000 dollars (that's 900,000 in total coverage fyi). Bottom line,
no question is to stupid when deciding policies, and don't think your
agent won't know, believe me they have heard it all! Thank god there's
people like you, great article!
