Even During Tough Economic Times Life Insurance Provides Peace of Mind
Posted in: Economy, Family, Insurance, Life | Comments
As you watch the value of your property, home or retirement investment savings struggle in the current economy, you may be wondering about ways to protect your family in the event of an unforeseen event. One option you may not have considered is the purchase of a whole life insurance policy.
It may not be something you’d automatically turn to, but whole life insurance offers guaranteed death benefit protection in addition to multiple tax advantages and flexibility. Owning a whole life policy can be a great financial alternative, not only for the protection of your loved ones but also a financial option for your living needs.
Invest in Your Loved Ones
The primary promise of life insurance, of course, is that your loved ones will be protected in the event of your death. And with a whole life policy, your death benefit is guaranteed, whether the payout comes in a matter of years or decades. This is an investment that provides protection in the long-term interests of those you care for most, as well as your own peace of mind.
Invest in Your Future
But, what you may not know is that a whole life insurance policy is much more than protection against the unknown. It also provides you with tax-deferred cash value that accumulates over time. In the event of sudden unforeseen or happily anticipated expenses, it provides a readily available source of funds. And in the long run, it can also supplement your retirement income.
Any kind of financial strategy these days seems fraught with uncertainty, so it’s important to consider carefully what vehicles work best for your own circumstances.

Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 in Blogs - Views: (136)It was about 10 months ago that we were talking with a few members of the HGTV Message Board, and they expressed dissatisfaction with the way that their Message Boards were being moderated.

- Life Insurance Protection for the Stay-at-Home Spouse
Posted on Monday, June 1st, 2009 in Family - Views: (49)Some families choose to have one parent work outside the home while the other stays home to take care of children. Other families are forced into such a situation by limited childcare availability or other circumstances. In either case, most people would agree that the wage earner in any family should have life insurance protection. After all, how would the family survive without a breadwinner’s income?

It’s Summertime!
Posted in: Blogs, Forum, NCAS, Squirrel, Tropical Fish, Weather, fish | Comments
The pool was opened today. With all the rains we’ve been having, even if we opened the pool at the normal date, we still wouldn’t have been able to swim. Though today would have been a GREAT day to be in the pool. Hot Hot and Humid Humid. Of course, rain is once again in the forecast, and they’re predicting highs of only in the 70’s the next few days. Hopefully by the time the pool is swim-worthy, so will the weather.
Boys are off in camp.
Summer school is about to start.
Air conditioners are running full steam.
What’s a person to do?
Here are few good suggestions:
- Bookmark my blog. And, make it interactive. Post comments. Let’s strike up a two-way (better still a multiple) convo.
- Get back on The Squirrel Forum. Or, registerr. Become a member, and reap all the benefits of membership. There are more topics on the Forum than you can shake a leg at. Forget about two-way conversations. How about joining in on discussions on a Forum that has over 700 members? Talk about fun!
- Got fish? Again, either get back on the Nassau County Aquarium Society Forum, or register. Same reasons/benefits as above. Hey, fish are people too! And, they need you now more than ever! By the way, if you register for either The Squirrel Forum, or the Nassau County Aquarium Society Forum, you’ve registered for both! Your member name and password are valid on both Forums!
So, what are you waiting for? An invitation or something???
And, don’t forget. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter too!

Happy Father’s Day!
Posted in: Holiday, Life, Love, Matthew, children | Comments
My life changed (for the better) the day my son was born. I can’t believe it has just about been six years ago.
Every year I get to watch him grow. From a baby to a young boy. From the first few words out of his mouth to the precious, “I love you, Daddy”’s. Knowing he was in school (kindergarten) this past week making a Father’s Day card and present for me. Nothing could be more precious. I don’t need a tie. All I need to see are his gleaming eyes… his radiant smile, and that big hug that he always has for me every single day. It gets me every time. Those are the ties that bind father and son.
It’s a cliche, but it’s so true. Anyone can be a Father. But, it takes a special man to be a Daddy.
To all the Daddy’s out there, Happy Father’s Day!
