Common questions
The things people ask me first.
- How much life insurance do I actually need?
- A common starting point is 10–15× your annual income, plus debts and future expenses like college. We'll walk through your real numbers — not a one-size formula.
- Is whole life worth it, or is term enough?
- It depends on your goal. Term is the most affordable way to cover income years; whole life and IUL serve longer-horizon goals like legacy and tax-advantaged growth. Many families use both.
- What's the difference between an annuity and life insurance?
- Life insurance protects others if you pass too soon. An annuity protects you from outliving your money. Different problems, different tools.
- Do I need a medical exam?
- Sometimes. Many modern policies offer simplified or no-exam underwriting, especially for healthy applicants under certain coverage amounts.
