Video: What no one else will tell you about the life insurance industry. (in 30 seconds)
Insurance companies will sell anyone, anything. Don't believe the online policy search which bait and switch to get leads for agents. Our partners have reviewed thousands of clients policies and can tell pretty quickly what's overpriced garbage and what is solid coverage for the best-price.
Just as importantly, we listen carefully to what you share about your overall financial situation and what is causing you stress or creating joy right now. What you spend on life insurance should be balanced against what else you need to have a good life today, and in retirement. Over-paying for insurance is bad. Over-buying and under-buying can be a problem too. Whether you have a quick question on insurance, need to get a policy, or
Callous Companies Create Complexity to Confuse
Are you confused about where to invest your money? It's not your fault. Big companies create complexity so you give up and just do what their salesmen suggest. They often suggest high-fee policies that result in your earning less.
Inexperienced Salesmen Incentivized to Sell Bad Policies
Because teachers don't earn a lot of money, many big companies send their least experienced sales people into schools. They are often well meaning, but only sell what their company has told them about.

WHAT TEACHERS SAY
I met with Steve wondering what would come of our conversation. Steve examined my financials including what I would possibly get from TPAF in retirement. He made several helpful suggestions and asked nothing from me, nor did he pitch me any product. I came away understanding my retirement situation more. I am always suspect of altruism but in this case, I believe it was real! :)

How much money did I lose or gain in the COVID-market?
Ugh! Those 403b and other investment statements are almost impossible to understand. During our video meeting we can look at yours and help make sense of them.
Am I paying excessive fees on my 403(b) or other polices?
This is a really difficult question. The fees are often buried in complex language in small type. Variable Annuities are notorious for this. So is your spouses 401K by the way. But, we can dig into them even though it might take a bit more time than our initial 20 minute chat.

Steve was very helpful in explaining my 403B to me and calculating when I can retire. It meant a lot that he made the process so easy for me to do. I was so pleased with him that I referred him to a co-worker and she too was very pleased with his work. Thanks again Steve!
