Occupation plays a very important role in a person’s life. What we do for living pretty much determines our entire lifestyle and delivers certain risks to deal with everyday. If you’re working with toxic substances on a daily basis, you have a type of risk that haul drivers for example are very uncommon with. The same goes for any other high-risk job that has special circumstances posing danger to your health and life. And of course, if your occupation has a higher degree of risk in average, you are likely to pay more for insuring your life. Risk and insurance rates are connected directly, which means the safer your job the lower premiums you’ll have to pay.

Whom does it concern?

If you have an average job at the office with the most hazardous task being dealing with the paper shredder it’s evident that your insurance rates will be quite average as well. But if you work in the circus with wild animals, or jump off planes with a parachute for a living it is very likely that your insurance premiums will be much higher than with your “safe work” peers. Some insurance companies can even deny you with insurance at all because they aren’t willing to assume such a high risk that is insuring you.

To determine how risky and costly your job is for insuring your life you don’t have to be a scientist. Just think about the possibilities of being injured or killed while performing your day to day tasks at work, but be realistic about it. Being killed by an elevator or sucked into the shredder sure sounds mean for a horror movie or novel, but it’s not what happens at the office every now and then. Evaluate the risks you’re taking with your job and if they’re quite high your life insurance will be quite expensive. Continue reading →

Some insurance companies are criticized because it’s not always clear how your premiums are used nor how the value of your policy is calculated. At a state level, insurance departments and commissioners do their best to protect your interests, but the majority of consumers are not well protected. This is less important with term insurance, but whole life and universal life policies have an investment element that slowly builds up and gives you a cash value in addition to the minimum guaranteed death benefits. Getting the most out of these more expensive policies is important.

Note that, unlike “ordinary” policies, cash-value policies do not lapse if you stop paying the premiums. Once you reach a minimum threshold, the policies remain valid and the investment element continues to accumulate value – this assumes the wider economy is doing well and the stock and bond markets provide a worthwhile return. So the best way of looking at these policies is as a saving fund. If you had run a savings account in your bank, this would give you a nest egg to draw down when you retired. You can treat cash-value policies in the same way.

Almost everyone with a whole or universal life policy pays long enough to reach protected status. Most take out a policy during their twenties and are still paying twenty or thirty years later. What seems a high premium when you started becomes more affordable as inflation works in your favor. Now the big decision is whether to continue paying. The longer you pay, the better the benefits. But if there’s a family emergency, you can stop paying, withdraw some of the cash or take a loan, and keep the policy valid for when you die. If you hold a life policy, you should receive an annual statement telling you the minimum cash value and the guaranteed death benefit. But, with both a whole and universal policy, you can contact your insurer at any time, and get an up-to-date statement. Continue reading →
