Reader’s Question:

I have always been hesitant to get a life insurance policy here in New Jersey because I thought I can never find a cheap plan. I was advised that I can still get something that I can afford, but the only question is how?

Gannon

Paterson, NJ

It is possible that you can get a cheap life insurance plan there in New Jersey. There are a lot of affordable life insurance plans available in the market, especially if you search for it online. Life insurance companies also offer discount for the coverage of their applicants. If you go online, you will see various life insurance companies that are willing to calculate and award their consumers a much deserved discount on their premiums. The people who can take advantage of such discounts are those who have credible social and credit records. Your financial situation as well as your social status can attest to your life insurance provider that you are responsible. As a result, you will be given a discount for that on your life insurance plan.

Another way to save on your lifeinsurance is to compare multiple life insurance quotes from different insurers. Even for the same amount of life insurance coverage, the premiums could vary from one life insurance company to another. So what you have to do is to request for as many quotes as you can from several life insurance providers. At your most convenient time, you can ask for life insurance quotes by going online and visiting the Websites of life insurance providers. You have to make a decision first on how much coverage you need for your lifeinsurance before you go and compare prices.

Reader’s Question:

A life insurance agent here in New Jersey recently told me about getting an Equity-Indexed Universal Life Insurance, I don’t understand what it is. Can you tell me something about this?

Lyndon

Elizabeth, NJ

Equity-Indexed Universal Life Insurance (abbreviated: EIUL) is a fairly recent type of life insurance, having been introduced to the market during the mid-90’s. The main reason for it’s creation is to provide consumers who are concerned about economic or market volatility an alternative to certain forms of life insurance coverage that are heavily-reliant on how interest rates fluctuates.

Admittedly, this kind of life insurance would not be to everyone’s taste and would require you to have at least some understanding of how stock and money markets work to be able to at least understand how the said policy would work. You may even need to consult a financial professional there in New Jersey (or that life insurance agent who talked you into this kind of policy) to fully grasp this particular type of life insurance.

Let’s give a simple explanation on EIUL. Once someone buys this kind of policy, the insurance company uses the current point value of a specific stock market index (most probably the S&P 500) as a reference point for your policy’s value. Every year that the said stock market index increases in value, so does your policy accordingly and if the index does not increase, or even lose value your policy’s growth rate would just be pegged to 0%. Most policies would also have price caps or ceilings, say the index grows by 20% and your policy has a 15% index cap, then your policy can only increase up to 15% in value.

Reader’s Question:

I am 40 years old and planning for my retirement now here in New Jersey. I plan to retire at 60. I am particularly interested in annuities. Are there different types of annuity products?

Sherman

Trenton, NJ

Hi, Sherman. Forty is just the right time to think about your retirement as you still have enough time to save up in case you want to buy an annuity. I take it that you have an idea about annuities. However, just to reiterate: Annuities are just like whole life insurance but with a slight difference; an annuity policy pays you a monthly guaranteed income as long as you live while a whole life insurance pays claims made by your beneficiary when you die. For example, you lived up to 90 years old. This would mean that from the moment you celebrated your 60th birthday up to being 90 years old, you have received a monthly income for 30 years.

You can choose to buy an annuity via a single payment premium. With this, you pay a lump sum, then start receiving money after a year so. Another kind of annuity is what we call a combination of retirement savings and retirement payment plan. This type of annuity allows the annuitant to make regular payments or contributions to the annuity for a certain date and then receive regular payouts from the annuity from then on. And lastly, there is a type of annuity that has life insurance mixed into it. In case the annuitant dies before annuity payments begin, a designated beneficiary will receive a lump sum or the regular annuity payments. So, I hope you give your agent in New Jersey a call soon.

I’m 26 years old now, and live in New Jersey. Would it make a difference if I get a life insurance three years from now? Can I still get it cheap?

Peter

Clifton, NJ

Peter, one of the main factors life insurance providers use in determining how much premium you will pay is age. Having said this, it means that the younger you are, the cheaper your premium will be. Another good argument for this is that being young, you are at a more healthy state. We all know that the older you get, the more risks are attached to your profile as you are more prone to diseases. In three years’ time, we can never tell what the state of your health will be. There is a chance that you may not be insurable by the time you get to the age of twenty-nine.

Starting out on an early age could also mean that you will be finished paying your premiums earlier (assuming that you get limited whole life insurance). Let’s say that you got a plan that will mature in 20 years. So by the time you reach 46, you are already expecting something of considerable value, whereas if you have waited three years more, your life insurance will have matured (or you will have gotten your lump sum) three years later. Yes, Peter, three years could spell a big difference.

Take care, Peter of New Jersey.

Reader’s Question:

I was looking for a life insurance policy online but there were so many great offers and could not decide which one to choose. What type can you give me so that I could find the best policy offer?

Brian

Camden, NJ

Most of the people find online shopping as more convenient. This is also true for shopping for insurance policy. Because of the much information, which can be sometimes overwhelming, it is easier to compare policy rates from one company to another. You can compare their monthly premiums or life issue settlement. Shopping online for insurance rates will also give you more companies to choose from and more information on the facts and details of the company. If you limit yourself to the insurance companies within your area, you will also is to limit your options.

If you want to get the best possible life insurance policy, you should write down the pros and cons of the company. Do not be tempted to go with the first online life insurance policy you come across as this might cost you thousands of dollars in the long run. Look closely at the premiums to be paid and benefits to be received. Once you have written down all these, it will be now easier for you to go back and
forth until you find the best insurance policy offer. It will be a waste of money to settle to a plan that will not provide the benefits to your loved ones in times of grieving. So it is important that you give a lot of effort in finding the right life insurance policy online.

When you buy a life insurance policy, you’re buying a contract wherein the parties are the insurer and the insured (or policy holder). The insurer is the life insurance company in Paterson New Jersey NJ and the policy holder is you. The contract states that the insurer will pay money for an amount specified therein upon the policy holder’s death or some other acceptable event that ultimately results in certain death. In return for the insurer’s obligation, you (the policy holder) will pay a specified amount known as a premium every year, or some other mutually agreed upon time segment such as a calendar semester or quarter.

The life insurance company is a corporation, which is legally a person. Now ask yourself: Do you have peace of mind if you go into a long-term contract with a person you don’t know? If you ask me, I don’t.

Bartson

Clifton, NJ

Yes, a lot of life insurance companies have chosen to focus in smoker life insurance. I’m pretty sure life insurance companies in Clifton, NJ have the same options. Since you haven’t mentioned how often your husband smoke, it would be better for you to contact life insurance companies in Clifton, NJ and inquire about their smoker life insurance policy. Your husband is deemed to be a smoker if during a urine test required by your smoker life insurance, nicotine is found positive in the urine sample he provides. You should also know that insurance companies who offer smoker life insurance may have diverse categories of smoker types.

Smoker life insurance may be classified as “standard”, “preferred”, and “preferred plus”. These ratings will depend on your general health, the results of your medical examination and the frequency of a person’s smoking habits. A person who smokes less would get a better deal or quotation on his smoker life insurance than the one who is considered a chain smoker. If you can ask your husband to quit smoking, that would be better. Smoker life insurance companies normally give minimum period of time wherein a smoker may stop smoking so as to be considered as a non-smoker.

It would still your best bet to shop around for the smoker life insurance policy that would offer you the best deal. There are life insurance websites, like this one, which can give you free quotes online by simply answering a relevant form like the one that’s in this page.
