Cheap Health Insurance Options For The Unemployed, Self-Employed, Or Early Retiree
Whether you are unemployed by choice or due to unfortunate circumstance, having health insurance is a must. According to The American Journal Of Medicine, 62% of all bankruptcies in 2007 were health related and that’s before the economic meltdown.

Beware Of The Life Insurance Bait And Switch Tactic
When I became a father, one of the first things I did was call up my life insurance provider to review how much life insurance I have and go through the various term life insurance options. My carrier reminded me that my existing $1,000,000 term life policy is set to expire in 2022. I’d purchased

Back when I wrote this post on July 6, 2012 I had just negotiated a severance from a finance job I held for 13 years. I took a leap of faith and haven’t looked back. Back then, millions were still unemployed from the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Hence, I wanted to search for empathy for the

Winners And Losers Of Obamacare Hooray!
In a close 5-4 decision, the Supreme court says Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty!

The Fittest People May Have The Lowest Self-Esteem
I’m focused with physical fitness right now. As a father of two kids, I want to be fit enough to play with them and live long enough to see them become independent adults.

It’s open enrollment time again for insurance and benefits for the following year. With all this talk about health insurance costs going up and benefits going down, I’m surprised to see my total insurance and benefits costs hover the same at around $150 a month for an individual. I looked carefully at each line item
