3 Things That Will Significantly Affect Your Life Insurance Premium

 When inquiring about Life Insurance, there are a couple of things you might want to be aware of.  Life Insurance is based on age, health and lifestyle. The three health issues carriers consider risky are: 

1) Obesity. If you are obese, you might have a harder time getting a policy with low premiums and a higher death benefit. Obesity is the number one factor in many health problems, so of course insurance carriers are going to cover their risk of you passing away young, thus they will collect larger premiums to protect their interests. 

2) Like Obesity, Diabetes is also taboo, basically for the same reasons.

3) Smoking is a big no, no in the insurance world. When we give a "Quickie Quote", the only health question is if the client is a smoker or non-smoker. Of course, once we start paperwork, other questions come into play. 

***If you are a smoker and quit, after a year the carrier may reevaluate your health status and offer you a lower premium.

The best time to get Life Insurance is obviously now, despite your health status.  You could be here today and gone tomorrow. Something is better than nothing. Because we work with around 15 carriers, we can custom tailor a policy for you.

With the outrageous inflation we are seeing, as well as supply chain issues and food shortages, NOW might be the time to start thinking of going back to the days of self-sustainability. The word self-sustainability can mean a lot of different things, from growing your own food to going off grid. Each have their own subcategories and could take a lifetime to cover. For today I will be talking about composting and growing food and flowers.  In order to have a nice harvest, there are certain conditions which must be met - ample sunshine, water, and healthy soil. This is where composting comes in.  What is compost? Compost is simply a mixture of recycled organic materials used to fertilize and improve the existing soil. This material reduces the need for commercial fertilizers and eventually eradicates the need to purchase dirt from other sources. By composting, you are essentially making your own soil that is ideal to grow anything. I recently heard about a gardening method called, "

About Me

Welcome to my new blog. Although I do have a presence on many social media platforms, I believe this is a better avenue to deliver lengthier posts. Hello, name is Carolee Hollenback. I am a mother, Grandmother, and I a have a passion for helping others.  I also have big, expensive dreams for myself and organizations that I want to help. One of my goals is to travel the US in my RV. I needed a professional career that paid well and that I could do from anywhere. Because of my costly dreams, I also needed to learn about money and how it works. It was never taught to me in high school or college, and my parents never talked about it at home. Once I did learn about money, I was excited to share what I had learned with others.      Enter Financial Services. The Financial Services industry was the one that checked off all of my boxes. I wanted something where I could plan life around my time; not have life planning my time for me. Because it is remote, I can work from anywhere. Because I

Gardening and Life Insurance

I'm sure you read that title and thought, "WHAT does gardening have to do with Life Insurance?"  Stay with me and I'll explain. As I was gardening one day, I started thinking about just how beneficial gardening is to our health - physically, mentally and spiritually!  Planting a garden involves a lot of exercise. It could involve roto-tilling the land, lifting and distributing soil, and weeding.  Gardening can be quite a workout!  Gardening is great for our mental state as well. While tending to plants, the mind often wanders. It might be a private moment with God, or a time to think and make plans. Perhaps it's just a short respite from the chaos of family life. Whatever the reason, gardening eases the mind, thus reducing stress and anxiety. Then there's the bounty! Fresh, nutritional fruits and vegetables! Fresh, not days or even weeks old as a result of being shipped from another state or even another country! The savings are enormous. I did plant a garden
