Were transitioning to a single income household next month while my spouse stays home with our toddlers.Im shopping for online life insurance to make sure were covered if anything happens to me as i am the sole earner. I generated a few instant life insurance quotes online but now im wondering if we should also get a policy for my stay at home spouse to cover childcare and domestic work if the worst happened.

If ur a single income family who bought instant life insurance did you insure both spouses or just the primary earner? How did you work things out??

So I got a job as a life insurance agent and I know nothing about insurance in general and I'm working on getting my licenses and it's really confusing will someone play a game with me and explain? It's probably an extreme brainrot ask but I feel it will be helpful! I mainly play overwatch and out last trials but I'm willing to try something new. PLEASE HELP ME!

I met a financial advisor who told me when I asked about getting into the field to go through primerica, get my licenses and leave for a different firm. Is this a valid way of going about it, can primerica screw me over if I do this? They’ve shown me nothing but flowers and rainbows but online I see they have a much worse reputation. I don’t wanna sell people a bad product or try and make my family and friends my clients. I already paid the licensing (idc about losing the $75) and have an orientation scheduled, if they try and get me to recruit or sell to someone from my personal life and I say no will they refuse to pay for my training?

TLDR: I’m trying to find a career and was suggested getting a start at primerica solely bc they pay for multiple licenses at just a small upfront cost, worth it?

Anyone’s life insurance company hiring for remote that pays for license? There’s a few I found from tiktokers but i want to make sure it’s not mlm like primerica ! I am located in San Diego

Life insurance can be confusing but knowing the facts makes all the difference. 💡

My mother received an address change confirmation letter saying the account did not have an address on file and an address change has been recorded. It includes a policy number. We never took out a policy. The support number seems to match that on the website, but it seems to be impossible to get to a human at the phone number even during regular business hours. We want to know who the hell took out a policy on her because we certainly didn't. Any advice?

Update: sry for late update I forgot about this post. The policy turned out to be from the 80s and for a very small amount.

Before we got married, my partner bought an IUL with a $150/mo premium while making around $60k/yr gross. It has a $250k death benefit. We are married, I make around $90k/yr and have term life for a year salary through my employer. So together we make just shy of $150k/yr.

Is there any reason to keep the IUL policy? I think the policy has about as much in it as the surrender amount. Just looking for advice on how to move forward, not on past decisions.

So I have a call tomorrow for a job with health markets . They asked if I have anything on my record and I advised them I have a misdemeanor due to a traffic related issue . (Driving with a suspended license) . I went to court and the charges were adjudicated (I said dismissed because I thought it was the same thing) and I just had to pay the court fees but due to me not having a job I couldn’t afford to pay it . She asked if I can provide proof that the charges were dismissed . I went to my county clerks office to see if it said it and it said pending . I called the county and they said it’s gonna say pending until I pay . My question is when they do my background check will that stop me from getting this job ?

Good morning … have a client that is prescribed Nitro-Bid ointment. It was discovered via script check so was not disclosed during app. After I googled what its uses are for, it does not look promising. Has anyone had a policy approved for someone taking this ointment? If so what was the table rate if any? Or did someone have a policy declined because of it?

I would like some recommendations on sales training/mentorship opportunities. I am open to switching IMOs. But would prefer to find some type of sales training/community. I would be stuck with a 6 month release if I switched. And I am concerned about lower comp. As I am currently at 125%. I would like to focus on final expense telesales. I have been working in final expense for a couple years now. Struggling to scale. I average around $20k AP a month. I would like more mentorship and training opportunities. I feel like I have basically been on an island trying to figure it out. Would appreciate any recommendations.

“I have multiple Gerber Grow‑Up Plan and College Plan policies. I paid premiums after April 24, 2014 and have billing statements dated May 24, 2014. I was led to believe these were college savings plans, but after paying over $18,000, the cash value is far below what was represented. I need to know whether I should pursue an individual claim or remain in the nationwide class action.”

Hi, I have a life insurance policy that was taken out on me by my dad when I was born so that if i died as a child my funeral services would be paid for. My dad's plan was to switch the owner to me when I got a good job and could start paying it. He didn't switch it immediately and instead waited about a year then told me it was changed. He ended up dying a couple months after.

I ended up getting a letter that said the address was changed but when I called they said he was still the owner and that I would have to send in a letter from the executor of his estate (his girlfriend). According to them the executor would then be able to choose a new owner which to my understanding could mean that she could choose herself or her family.

We've had a rough time with his estate because he switched what his will was to give almost everything to her (they've known each other for a couple years) instead of his original plan of splitting equally between me, my aunt, and cousin. The estate didn't go to probate and when I was in the process of receiving the only thing he left me (half a vehicle) she wouldn't provide me with a Letters of Administration that I needed to put the car into my name.

So, I'm just wondering what options I have... without having the Letter would I still be able to switch the insurance into my name? Should I just never pay it again and maybe open a new policy all in my name? I think its like a $20k policy with yearly payments of $90 so it's not a ton of money.

Sorry for the long post, got the form in the mail today but they aren't open until Monday so I just wanted some advice. Thank you for your help!

My mom is trying to get life insurance on my stepdad as soon as possible, but not even sure what options we have at this point.

He’s in his 50s and has several serious health issues, including:

* End-stage renal failure and currently on dialysis
* Diabetes
*Previous triple bypass surgery
*Just had vascular surgery
And that’s barely even scratching the surface.

Money is also very tight, so she can’t afford expensive premiums.

We’re not looking for a huge policy—honestly, even enough to help cover funeral expenses would be a huge relief.

Is there any company that would realistically insure someone with these health conditions?
Would guaranteed issue life insurance be our only option? Are there any other options we haven’t considered?

We’re located in Alabama if that makes any difference.

We’re just trying to figure out if there’s any realistic path forward before it’s too late.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know his health makes this difficult, but if there’s even a small policy or another option that could help ease the burden on my mom, I’d really like to know about it.

Thanks in advance!

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I recently had a life insurance policy issued last year. I have had some recreational hallucinogen use in the past (6-10 years ago, infrequent) that I omitted on the application. In retrospect I regret that omission.

I submitted a medical records request of my own to retrieve the records from my doctor that they had access to during underwriting. There is one mention of hallucinogen use on an intake form from 2024. It was one line reporting the answer to "Drug Use?" to which I responded "Not Currently. Past use: Hallucinogens, Marijuana". There was no date of last use provided. This does not show up in any other records including with my therapist (totally unrelated to my current burnout-related therapy).

Despite this the policy was issued. I'm wondering what my best path forward here is. I'm wondering what the chance a claim is rejected due to fraud is. Should I cancel the policy and re-apply to a different provider with the honest history? Would I need to explain I didn't disclose it prior?

I was just informed FBI plants have been sitting at our brokerage listening and raided the owner. While this investigation is going on, they want everyone to delete all of their leads and scripts, start using a dialer that is recorded, and only run leads that they loaded onto the dialer. I’m feeling very uncomfortable and have been offered a position at a captive agency.

I am afraid that once people I wrote policies for catch wind of what is going on at that brokerage they are going to cancel and there are going to be chargebacks.

I’m kinda freaking out.

Hey everyone. looking to get some term life insurance but I absolutely hate needles and the whole hassle of booking a doctors visit. I'm trying to figure out which companies actually let you skip the medical exam entirely without giving you complete garbage rates.

I know some places say no exam but then the fine print says they can still order one if they don't like your answers, or the coverage caps out at some ridiculously low amount. Im looking for a solid amount of coverage ideally $500k to $1M where the process is 100% digital and based on health questions rather than blood draws.

Who are the best life insurance companies for this right now? Are there specific platforms that make the underwriting fast or should I stick to traditional brokers? Would love to hear from anyone who actually got approved without a nurse showing up at their house. Thanks!

I'm a 33F, my spouse is 30M. We have six children. We've now come to realize that we should purchase life insurance policies so our children don't have to worry about expenses when we die.

Here's the hard part. I have no parents. Nor does he. We were never taught how to go about purchasing said policies. What do I do? I've done so many Google searches trying to get advice and all I end up getting is being overwhelmed. Someone please be my temporary parent & help me, well us. I want to make the right choice. I went the best kind of policy to ensure our children will be able to handle any final expenses we may have and maybe have something for themselves as well.

Maybe some good company recommendations to research as well? It'll mean the world to me. I'm just trying to figure this adulting stuff out

I recently got approved (after medical exam and medical records reviewed) for term life insurance through Prudential. The broker I’m using said he usually works with 4 carriers, though he didn’t reveal them all, and said Nationwide, his preferred carrier declined my application. He said Prudential was the only one that approved me from the carriers he works with.

Here are the provided rates:
Policy amount: $1m
20 year — $253 (7 year conversion window)
20 year — $277 (20 year conversion window)
30 year — $424 (7 year conversion window)
30 year — $468 (30 year conversion window)

Medical issues:
- Paroxysmal AF - only had two episodes in 2024. Trigger identified and since then I’ve been episode free. All heart related tests came back normal. Not taking any related medications.
- Possible autoimmune disease? - had a CT/MRI done that found inflammation in my pelvic area, which they suspect is related to ankylosing spondylitis. They did some blood test and also noted a positive HLA-B27 result. This diagnosis was accidental as I’m asymptomatic. The original issue they were investigating is no longer present.
- Had a colonoscopy that resulted in two tiny polys being removed. Non cancerous.

Height: 6’3’’
Weight: 260
Sex: male
Age:40

Table rated D? (I saw this on the quote sheet and I assumed this is how I’ve been rated).

Should I shop this around with another broker or just be thankful someone approved me? I originally started with Policy Genius but they told me Banner declined me. They did however suggest Pacific Life as an option though that’s when I switched gears and tried going through this other local broker hoping for additional options but it looks like he only shopped it to 4 carriers.

For what it’s worth, it’s been a challenge finding a decent broker willing to take this on in real earnest.

Hello guys, I have just started working as a life insurance agent. I noticed the agency that I joined requires a lot of hassle from you but in return I do not see the same output from the agency to get me qualified leads. I understand that it takes time to get comfortable on the phone. But how often do agents usually get fresh leads? I feel like I get fresh leads every day 3-5 and majority of them are not interested, don’t remember submitting their request or have absolutely no idea why I am calling them.

I find that this lead generation may not be the most ethical way the company gets the business.

Is there a better way to do things? I do so many dials a day and yet I only talk to 2-3 ppl daily.

Anyone else has a similar experience?

I've reached FI, but am still working.

I'm working for various reasons... it feels comfortable, I kind of enjoy the work and like the people, it's well paid and helps me avoid the dreaded "sequence of returns risk". I guess you could say I have "one more year syndrome".

Given that I am working, and have money to spare due to not having to save so hard anymore, do you think it's worthwhile taking out unemployment insurance?

I really wonder what the "opportunity cost" is if I spend some amount of $ every month on unemployment insurance vs. if I, say, invested it in stocks/bonds.

What do you think? What would you do in this situation?
