About Money 101

Introduction
Life insurance is critical to financial planning. It's a necessity for anyone with dependents who would be affected financially by his or her demise. Yet life insurance is one of the hardest financial products to understand, and it's sold by agents who are sometimes more concerned with their commissions than the client's needs. The end result is that too many people surrender their life insurance decisions to agents, grab the first policy that seems reasonable, and pay far more than necessary for coverage. This Money 101 lesson is all about a better way to buy life insurance.
