Tragedy In Las Vegas Is A Reminder Of What's Really Important







One more moment.  What if we could have one more moment with that loved one that has passed?  What would we say?  What would we do?  The events in Las Vegas is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life.  One moment we are alive and enjoying the finest things in life.  Then the next, tragedy has happened.  We are never guaranteed tomorrow.


 As a young man I always made it a habit of saying “I love you” to my kids whenever I dropped them off at school.  For some reason if something happened to me they will remember that daddy’s last words spoken to them was, I love you.  Always be kind to your loved ones.  At times we get upset with each other.  But let’s do what the good book says.  That is “do not let the sun go down while you are still angry” Ephesians 4:26.  Make sure your conversations reinforce your love for your spouse and kids.  Let your last words be of love before departing for the day.


As spouses and parents we also have a financial responsibility.  Nothing reminds your family how much you love them more than having a financial plan in place in case you are not there to supply their needs.  Life insurance is that vehicle that accomplishes this goal.  For a small fee you have the protection set up so your family can still enjoy the lifestyle you have supplied them while living.  Don’t go to bed without your family being protected financially!!

Why UM/UIM Insurance Coverage Is Important

Image
One of the most overlooked, but probably the most important coverage on your auto insurance is the UM/UIM coverage.   Why is it important?   UM/UIM coverage goes to cover your medical bills, rehabilitation, and loss of work if someone injures you in an auto accident and they don’t have insurance or enough liability insurance to cover your bills.     In AZ it is estimated that 12% of the people driving on the streets don’t have auto insurance according to an  insurancejournal.com report.   That is about the same as the national average.   On top of that there are a lot of people driving around with state minimum coverage or one step above state minimum.   If there is a major accident this coverage isn’t going to cover everything.         Just to give an example this story from azfamily.com is about a teacher whose son was hit in an auto accident.   He has had to stay in the hospital for a while and the medical bills, rehabilitation, and loss of work is going to get very expe

Have You Committed Insurance Fraud?

I’m an honest person so there’s no way that I would commit insurance fraud!!!!  That’s how most of us feel.  I know most people are honest and they wouldn’t think of doing something like insurance fraud.  Insurance fraud cost consumers about $40 billion a year according to FBI statistics .  That cost to every family in the U.S. $400 - $700 a year.  There are two types of fraud.  One is called hard insurance fraud and the other is soft insurance fraud.  Hard insurance fraud is committed by people that scheme against the insurance company for profit.  Some examples of this would be. 1.       Someone that files a theft claim and declare items stolen that weren’t. 2.       Setting fire to a vehicle to get the full payout.  3.       Someone that fakes an injury to be able to not work and get paid. 4.       Agent takes money for a policy but never issues the policy. 5.       Stage an accident to collect medical payments. Soft fraud is more common and people do it wit

Congratulations to the High School Graduates!!!!!   It’s that time of year that every high school is having their graduation ceremonies.   It’s an exciting time that the end of the year and primary schooling is done.   For some it is the beginning of their college years.   Not all kids and parents can afford to pay for the college up front.   Some have to take out student loans to fund their child’s college education.   Below are some thoughts as students prepare themselves this summer to attend college.          Life Insurance   Students for the most part are not in a position of having someone dependent on them.  But it’s a good idea to have some sort of life insurance for the following reasons.  1.       Any student loan that the parent co-signs could be a debt that would have to be paid in case of the death of the student. 2.       Having money for burial expenses in case of the death of the student.  3.       This will
