Life Insurance

Postby Pyro » Sat Mar 23, 2019 12:34 pm

All

I have multiple questions about life insurance, have have a couple of policies that I’m thankful for my family to have. Anyone take it early? Probably not a popular topic, but worth looking into. I found at least 2 of my policies will let me take them if the doctor says I have less than 9 months, who wants to ask that! We know they are all guessing and I really have no super urgent medical problems at the moment, just wondering.

I consider myself blessed I was taking a class at 30 years old and bought a policy to go with my military policy, Go Dave Ramsey!

My insurance policy has the same terminal illness rider, it also has a critical illness rider. I qualified for that and was able to pull $25,000. It was quick and easy, had a check in 2 weeks.
