Call Greg Sabala at Mountain Financial. Most knowledgeable person I know of in the life field, and that's saying something. His # is (800) 377–6344

And no I don't get any commission, you asked and he's the best.

Stay away from whole life, no matter what the sales agent tells you.

AOPA uses MN Life Insurance. It may be worth calling AOPA.

Yep. I had mine thru aopa for many years. Now that my company offers it, I have cancelled it. But I do reccomend it.

Unless someone else depends on you for financial support, as a single guy, you really don't need life insurance. In other words, who (besides you) loses out financially in the event of your demise?

It's the same reason financial advisors recommend against life insurance for children (unless they are wealthy or famous as children). There is simply no loss of income.

Wrong.

The reason you buy life insurance on a child is to guarantee insurability if that child were ever to get ill.

Sorry, Swass, but it is you that is wrong.

You are wasting your money on life insurance for a child, unless they provide income or they are predisposed to some type of illness. Here’s what people smarter than me say:
