Only a few situations call for you to cash out on your policy

Only a few situations call for you to cash out on your policy. Many people cash out policies if they don't have money to pay bills or have a financial emergency. This practice is nothing but a means of throwing away your money and cheating your family of financial security. There are much better ways you can do this.

When going in for your medical exam, it's important that you appear to be as healthy as possible. Now, no one is suggesting that you game the system, but you need to understand what you're in store for. Don't eat any junk or drink or smoke before going into this exam. It could ruin your chances.

To save even more money on your life insurance premium consider purchasing a policy on-line. While many companies use agents or brokers to sell life insurance, if you are comfortable purchasing on-line you can reap significant savings. With lower overhead costs, companies offering life insurance on-line can offer significantly lower premiums to their customers.

If you have a whole-life insurance policy and have had it for a long while, whatever you do, don't get rid of it or replace it with another one. Hold on to the old policy because you don't want to lose the investment that you have already made into past premiums. The better option is to keep the old policy without making any changes and purchase a new whole-life policy instead.
