Common Mistakes To Avoid When Purchasing Term Life Insurance
by: Mike Bell
When purchasing term life insurance, there are a number of factors to consider. Consumers should make certain they understand the concept of term life insurance and make purchases accordingly. Here are a few of the most common mistake people make when buying term life insurance policies:
1. Buying a term life insurance policy because it is inexpensive. While the price may be cheap, you must make sure that the policy will meet your life insurance needs.
2. Failing to realize that term life insurance is temporary. A term life insurance policy will only be in effect for a set period of time. After that time expires you will need to renew, and if your health has deteriorated in that time it may be very difficult for you to obtain another policy.
3. Purchasing life insurance from an unknown or unstable insurance company. If the insurance company you choose does not have at least an A rating, walk away and look elsewhere.
4. Buying life insurance from an over-anxious agent. If the agent does not take the time to ask questions and understand your needs, end the conversation immediately and find a different agent.
5. Failing to review your policy on a regular basis. Changes in your life, your employment, and your finances can affect your life insurance needs. Take the time to analyze your situation from time to time to determine if your insurance needs have changed.

Insurance And Ethics
Insurance And Ethics
by: Joseph Kenny
Insurance contracts are often seen as a form of gambling. That is because they appear as a type of wager that takes place over the lifetime of the policy. Basically the insurance company is willing to bet that you and your property will not suffer the loss insured against. In exchange for making this bet, and taking on the risk, the receive your premium. If they win the bet, they keep the premium, if they lose, they make the payout. In this sense, they are often compared to a type of long term financial casino.
The difference between your premium amount, and the amount the insurance company will have to pay out if the loss occurs, is simply the odds the insurance company is getting for taking on the bet. It?s just like going to the horse races and betting on a horse that pays out 10 to 1.
This view of insurance has led to a number of people and religious communities disapproving of insurance because...
