Paula is a business owner and likes to make important decisions herself. Her business is very successful and she has lots of disposable income. She has a self-direct investment account where she chooses the investment herself. However, despite doing some researches on investment, her own portfolio ends up with major losses.
She just gave birth to a new born baby and would like to have some life insurance coverage for her children’s expense in the event of her death. She wants a plan that can provide additional coverage over time and allows her to cover the effect of inflation as well, as she has lost confidence on making investment decisions.
What insurance plan can fit Paula's need?
Pat, a 30-year-old youth worker, meets with his life insurance agent to discuss disability insurancecoverage. After a thorough analysis of Pat’s needs, the agent recommends a policy with a $1,500 a month benefit (50% of Pat’s current salary) payable to age 65 after a 31-day waiting period. Pat has put enough money away to cover 6 months’ worth of expenses, if necessary, but he would prefer not to dip into his savings. He applies for the policy, with the expectation that the premium will be $75 a month. He already thinks this is pricey and would not want to pay any more than that. Some time later, underwriting informs the agent that the policy has been approved, but with a 125% premium rating due to Pat being overweight. Which one of the following options would make the most sense to reduce the premium to a level Pat would accept without compromising too much on his coverage?
