Top 3 Tips for Saving Money on Term Life Insurance Coverage

Monday, October 19th, 2009

If you are looking for an affordable means of protecting the future of your family, term life insurance coverage is the way to go. This type of life insurance provides an individual with basic coverage for a specific amount of time. The payments are fixed, which means that they do not change during the time specified in the policy. Here, you will learn the top 3 tips for saving money on term life insurance coverage:

1. When purchasing term life insurance, it is important to understand that the coverage is to replace any and all financial loss as a direct result of your death. This is often expressed by the term “Indemnify”. For this reason, it is essential to ensure that you choose coverage that will be appropriate to the financial needs of your beneficiaries. Due to the fact that you may leave behind mortgage payments, medical expenses, loans and similar financial obligations, coverage should not exceed that which is equal to ten times the amount that you make annually.

2. If you want to save money on your term life insurance policy, it is important to secure coverage for the length of time that is appropriate to your individual situation. For example, if you are in your 40s and you have purchased a home that has a mortgage of twenty years, it will be best to secure coverage for twenty years. If you are retired, it may be appropriate to choose a policy that covers ten years.

3. When paying your term life insurance, it is important to check out discounts associated with payment methods. For example, many companies will knock a percentage off to customers that pay their premiums once a year. Other companies may offer discounts to those that use automatic payments.

There are several strategies that can be used to save money on term life insurance. Decide what type of coverage will be appropriate to the financial needs of your beneficiaries; decide what length of time your coverage should insure, and research discounts offered by the company that you purchase coverage from. By following these top 3 tips for saving money on term life coverage, you can save a lot of money over the course of the policy.

Gardening With My Muck Garden Shoes

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Some time ago, I was the working mom, with a great family, nice house, and a good job. Actually it was a long time ago, twenty years. Nowadays it’s just me, my children have moved out and on their own and my husband passed away a few years ago.

I’m a retired schoolteacher with twenty seven years of teaching, and I can still remember every single year, and that one child in each class that I had such an impact on. I enjoy running into my former students just about everywhere I go. It’s one of those joyful lifelong experiences that keep giving.

My other lifelong passion is a hobby that I tend to every summer is gardening. Having the summers off is the biggest benefit to teaching school, us teachers used to look forward to it more than the kids every year.

I don’t have a very big place, just enough for a few rows of herbs, vegetables, and some corn. Every morning after breakfast, I put on my favorite Muck Shoes and head out to check on the plants. It’s really a thrill for me to watch all my plants grow. Naturally my kids are my biggest accomplishment in life, but this does come close.

My neighbor across the street bought me these Muck Boots for Mother’s day on year. I love the fact that they resist any garden type contaminants. The pink color is perfect for me. For gardening, they work the best.
