YOU cash EVERY MONTH! I’ve been inside the insurance business
for over 25 years and I know it like
the back of my hand: From policy to
claims and back again.
I've sold insurance. I've studied it. I've discovered what makes "good
insurance" -- and what makes "bad insurance".

I know that not all insurance is "created equal". Life


insurance is certainly no exception. Placing all your coverage in TERM LIFE
INSURANCE can be one of the costliest mistakes you could make.

To help us get started, please answer this question for yourself:

WHEN DO I WANT MY LIFE INSURANCE TO BE IN FORCE?


(IN FORCE means that it’s paid, current and ready to pay a death benefit if you
should die. )

Well, the obvious answer is: WHEN I DIE!! Of course…

OK, when do you plan to die????

The next obvious answer (at least MY answer is) When I’m old.
VERY OLD.
THE OLDER, THE BETTER!

Let’s face it. You purchase life insurance really hoping that you’re NOT going to use it any time
soon. And you know what? Odds are that you probably won’t. Most likely you’re going to die
when you’re older – Much older. But just in case you don’t, you purchase life insurance to
protect the financial future of those you love.

So let’s look at the facts of term life insurance. Nothing emotional or prejudged – Kind of like
an FBI agent just examining the evidence to see where it leads.

Here’s what Term Life Insurance life rates look like. This is just a typical example for a
$100,000 5 year Term Policy, Male, non-tobacco rates. You can get different rates from a

42 $33 60 $116 78 $629 first few years, the rate increases EVERY YEAR.

take off.
48 $50 66 $203 84 $968

FACT #4 – The premiums you pay for term life insurance never come back to you. You see
term insurance is kind of like renting an apartment. Certainly cheaper every month than
buying a house, but when you leave you leave all your hard earned money with your landlord.

FACT #5 – At some point in time, you’ll look at your monthly premium for your term life
insurance and say, “I just can’t afford this any longer.” It usually happens just about the time
you retire and your income is going down a little and the cost of your life insurance is
rocketing through the roof! Check the premium at AGE 71… WOW!

Could be a problem, don’t you think?

At age 71 you may not need the insurance any longer. But let’s just say that you do. Maybe
the house isn’t quite paid for, there’s some money you’d like to leave to family, grandkids,
spouse, your church… could be a hundred different reasons. The problem is that if you want
to keep your insurance, you probably can’t because it’s just become too expensive for you.

Wouldn’t you like to have the option to keep it or not?

Let me show you how you can have that choice then by making a simple
decision today.
Get a small permanent life insurance policy today that
will give you options when you are older.
Here’s what permanent insurance can do for you.
1. Provides you with insurance you can keep for the rest of your life.
2. NEVER increases in premium.
3. Usually allows you to stop paying the premiums just about
the time you retire and REMAIN INSURED FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE.
4. Sometimes you can even have the policy PAY YOU a
monthly income.
(I’ll include a few more for you at the end of this section…. Look or this
little guy again.

Remember -- Odds are you’re going to live and your term insurance isn’t going to pay a death benefit for you.
But it fills a need when you’re young. Generally in your younger years 30-55, you’re financial responsibilities
are high. You have kids, house payments,
extra cars, college to pay for, on and on and If you haven’t already determined
on… how much insurance you need…

BUT…. There will still be expenses to
handle when you die – Funeral, maybe some small debts to pay
off, or possibly you need to provide an income for your spouse So here’s a couple of help questions
at the loss of you retirement income. for you:

your insurance premiums.
6. Your policy PREMIUMS are flexible which means that
if you hit a period of financial hardship you can
actually STOP PAYING for a short period of time and
continue to be insured.
7. You can adjust the amount of your coverage up and down depending on your changing
needs. (you’ll need to be insurable of course to increase the coverage unless you’ve
planned ahead by adding GIO to your policy. Good to get, but too much to explain here.
Ask me when I see you.)
