A Guide To Insurance
What exactly is insurance? Well, it is a policy that helps you to cover potential risks and damages that may occur from simple objects to even your health and life. Being the most important financial service industry in the world, it splits in two sectors: life insurance industry and general insurance industry, each of them having several branches.
So far, there have been established 5 types of life insurances. First, there is the Term Insurance. This is provided for a specific term, let’s say, 40 years, and if the policyholder dies during these years, a pre-specified amount of money is returned to the beneficiaries, for example, the family. If he doesn’t die, he will get no money back.
If you want to be sure someone takes advantage of your death, try the Whole Life Insurance. The Universal Life Insurance gives you the opportunity to invest some extra money, besides the amount you pay on the insurance, and receive the invested sum, that may or may not grow, at the end of the contract. If the policyholder dies, the beneficiaries will only receive the death benefits.
Similar to this is the Variable Life Insurance, where the policyholder can manage the money, and not someone else put in charge. Last, but not least come the Endowment Policies. Here, a lump sum is paid out at the end of the pre-specified term, or when the policyholder dies if that is during the term of the policy.
For all the other types of insurances, the General insurance industry is there to assist you. Covering a wide range of objects, from cars to houses, and even dental and travel insurances, it is accessible to anyone. No matter what happens, theft, catastrophes such as tsunamis, earthquakes, all of these are covered with the right policy. Most of them are annual contracts, and there are few products considered worthy of a long-term contract.
The reason why more and more people are attracted to insuring their belongings or even their life is because nobody knows what might happen the next minute. Whether your clumsy child lights a match in you kitchen, setting the whole house on fire, or the thieves manage to steal your car, or even get hit by a bus while crossing the street, the insurance system is by your side, making sure that you will have absolutely nothing to worry about.

As you know I came originally from Wisconsin, where I got a degree in Business Finance and I came out here in 1989 and started working with my brother selling real estate owned-REO, bank owned properties for Fannie Mae, Countrywide, and the Resolution Trust Corporation-RTC which was the government entity that was put in charge of disposing of all the real estate owned by the 1800 S&Ls that had failed. I did that until about 1995 when I moved into the mortgage industry and there for 12 years I worked predominately with bankruptcy attorneys helping their clients get out of bankruptcy and foreclosure.
