When you purchase a car insurance policy, you are given the option of paying one lump sum payment for your insurance coverage or paying monthly payments. Many people decide that they will pay their auto insurance premiums in monthly installments. However, this can be a costly mistake to make each month.
On average, people could save around $23.50 per month or $141 for a six month policy. If you add it up then you would save more than $280 a year just by paying for your auto insurance up front. Many people have coverage for 50 years so that could save thousands of dollars.

I had emailed some quotes off to a client this week with Genworth Life and Annuity, a major player in no lapse guarantee ULs and in this case the best rate class offer I had received when shopping the case. She went on line and found out that Genworth has been downgraded recently to A by AM Best from A+, Superior to Excellent, and from AA to A with Standard and Poors, from Very strong to Strong.

For those who travel often, it is almost impossible to effectively watch what they eat. How

Most states have banned using cell phones while driving. As we all know, if a driver becomes distracted because they are talking on the phone then they are more likely to become involved in an automobile accident.
A new study that was conducted by the Insurance Institute has found that these bans are not very effective at preventing car accidents. The data examined the car accident rates in states with and without cell phone bans. It found that there was no real drop in car accident rates for the states with the bans.

I got an email from some clients a few days ago. In spite of their best efforts their small business had fallen off so badly a few years ago that the husband made the decision to let the life insurance they had in force lapse.
Ive been staying in touch waiting for things to turn around but as the wife said in her email, I have a hard time not giving up on things getting better any time soon for us in the income department. But I find myself holding my breath until John wakes up some mornings. We know that we are playing Russian roulette without life insurance. As weve discussed before, I would be up that proverbial creek without a paddle if he passed before we get some insurance in place.
