When you are drowning in debt…

that is when you need term life insurance the most. Here’s why…

During these trying economic times, many Americans are asking, “Where’s my bailout?”

The government now owns General Motors and has spent trillions of dollars rescuing AIG and banks like Countrywide, but it is still up to each of use to create our own family bailout plan.

Term life insurance is an essential part of your family’s bailout plan. When times are tough, that is when you truly need the essential safety net that life insurance provides.

Over many years in the insurance industry, I’ve counseled hundreds of families who were in debt. Some of them were having severe financial problems and even considering bankruptcy. One of the things I’ve learned is that when you are drowning in debt, that is when the need for term life insurance is the greatest.

When the economy is booming, many families have generous savings accounts, a number of investments including their 401k, stocks and bonds. Often, both spouses are working. They have plenty of equity in their homes and may have other assets such as expensive cars or fine jewelry that they can sell if necessary.

A family in that position needs term life insurance, but they are in a far better position than a debt-ridden family. They have good credit that can tide them over – at least for a short while — if tragedy strikes. They can raise cash or raid the savings account if they must, or take out a home equity loan.

All of those alternatives disappear when families are deep in debt.

When times are tough, one spouse may be unemployed. Jobs are hard to find in this economy, and good jobs are even harder to find. Families are less likely to have extensive savings. Their 401k accounts may already have been tapped for emergencies. If the breadwinner passes away, the loss of income combined with financial pressures can be catastrophic.

The debt-ridden family needs the safety net that term life insurance provides, more than ever. When times are tough, the relatively small amount of money spent on term life provides a world of security for your family.

We all know that we should have health insurance all the time, but especially when we are sick. By the same token, term life insurance is always important – but especially so when we are facing debt or financial problems.

Don’t delay – take this important step to protect your family by purchasing affordable, hassle-free life term insurance coverage today at www.termdog.com.

NAPERVILLE, IL–(Marketwire – September 22, 2009) – A revolutionary new process allows consumers to compare term life insurance costs online just as they would auto insurance — quickly, conveniently and in the comfort of their own home. Better yet, TERMdog.com promises that they will never sell consumers’ contact information.

Until recently, finding affordable life insurance online was very difficult. Websites promised “online term life insurance quotes” but did not deliver. Instead, they simply collected customer information and sold it to the highest bidder. Unwary consumers were besieged with annoying salespeople constantly calling, mailing and in some cases even knocking on their doors.

That has all changed with the introduction of TERMdog.com. The site checks term life insurance rates at more than 100 companies to ensure that customers receive the best prices. Rates can be up to 70% the price that consumers are currently paying. Results are customized for each buyer, taking into account the customer’s age, location, sex and other important factors.

Consumers are understandably intimidated by the process of locating affordable life insurance. While many websites have promised to streamline the process, none of them delivered until now. TERMdog.com eliminates the need for a buyer to contact dozens of insurance companies, get term life insurance quotes from all of them and compare price and coverage.

Even more important, using TERMdog.com ensures that consumers will never be hassled by high-pressure insurance sales techniques.

TERMdog.com is the brainchild of Naperville, Illinois insurance agent Michael Fry. After years in the insurance industry, Fry realized that the websites available to give consumers term life insurance quotes just weren’t good enough. They promised too much and delivered too little. That’s why he created TERMdog.com.

Michael Fry is a father of three who is active in his church and community events including Junior Achievement. For more interviews or more information see www.TERMdog.com or contact him at 630-393-6500.

HIGHER TERM LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUMS PREDICTED

Naperville Native Helps Clients Slash Expected Rise in Term Life Insurance Costs

NAPERVILLE, IL-According to Michael Fry of TERMdog.com, term life insurance premiums are predicted to rise 5 to 10 percent over the next year. This is due in part to the higher reserve requirements for life insurance companies. Fry, a native of Naperville and lifetime resident of DuPage County, is concerned about this rate increase. He’s already working to help his clients combat higher term life insurance premiums through his new website, TERMdog.com.

Fry, an insurance professional since 1987, understands the need to save money on term life insurance without sacrificing coverage. He also knows that the average person can be easily confused by the jargon of the insurance world and be mislead into purchasing the wrong policy. That’s why he’s fulfilling a dream to help others cut their insurance costs while providing them with a better understanding of the language of the industry.

At TERMdog.com, Fry offers free easy access to educational articles and an online term life insurance quote system. He also provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), and a variety of relevant information to help site visitors recognize the differences in insurance policies, choose the type of insurance to best meet their needs, and even understand how insurance rates are determined based on health, age and other factors.

Fry has been a top life insurance producer for many years. As the principal of Steward Financial Services, a planning firm that specializes in financial stewardship advice, Michael has also trained other financial advisors throughout the country and has offered free debt counseling to many people referred to him by area churches. He understands the world of finance and the struggle that people face in stretching their money to meet their needs. That’s why he created TermDog.com which focuses on providing money saving services and advice in a simple user-friendly format.

This father of three is very involved in Calvary Church of Naperville, and is a loyal supporter of Junior Achievement.

While many of my customers are concerned about the cost of life insurance, not everyone realizes the vast differences in individual life insurance companies.

Have you considered the financial strength of the life insurance company you plan to do business with?

What about their customer service?

Or their ability to answer any questions you may have about life insurance and your personal insurance needs?

If you purchased your life insurance policy through an Internet term life insurance quoting machine, or if you didn’t consider all of the factors involved when a life insurance company sets your premium, you may not have the right life insurance policy to meet your needs. But with some planning, you may be able to improve the life insurance policy you already own.

Let me tell you a dirty little secret about most online life insurance quoting websites… These sites want you to think that they can answer your questions such as “What is the average price of life insurance?” or “How much life insurance do I really need?”

In reality, what many of these life insurance websites are doing is simply selling your personal information to the first insurance agent who’ll pay their fee. And that means any agent.

The insurance agent who purchases your contact information may inexperienced or even unaware of all of the factors involved in determining the best life insurance policy and premium for you. And you could be the one to end up paying for that lack of experience and knowledge!

Insurance companies can have as many as eight different rate classes, and an additional ten substandard rate classes, that come into play when new clients approach them for life insurance quotes.

As an insurance adviser, I’ve found that most people who were quoted a life insurance premium from an agent without all of the pertinent facts were misquoted by as much as three to five rate classes. That creates a huge difference in your insurance costs!

That’s why it’s so important that many different factors be taken into consideration when your agent is preparing your life insurance quote. You deserve an insurance agent who will work diligently to meet your life insurance needs. Don’t settle for anything less.

Hi, I’m Michael Fry, Mike to my friends. As the owner of TERMdog.com, a service of  Steward Financial Services, I want to help you find the best price on the best policy that best meets your term life insurance needs.

As a financial & insurance advisor since 1987, I understand your need to find the easiest, most affordable and most reliable insurance solutions. My associates, David Bankston and Trent Davis, and I know the insurance field. We know your concern is to find term life insurance at the lowest price possible with no sales pressure and no hassles. That’s why we’re here.

As Top Dog in the term life insurance field, my goal is to be able to communicate complex insurance concepts to my clients using terms that the average person can easily comprehend. I want to  help you truly understand your insurance needs and how the proper insurance will provide you and your family with ongoing security.

And in choosing David and Trent to help me reach that goal, I believe I’ve added tremendously to TERMdog’s skillset and knowledge.

Dave Bankston CPA, is an experienced financial & insurance advisor with a heart for helping people better understand the complex language of life insurance, annuities, and other concepts through financial consulting and education. He and I have worked together for many years assisting our clients in this important area.

Trent Davis comes to TERMdog after having mentored hundreds of successful financial advisors, agencies and marketing companies with an understanding of the advisors’ need for a consumer friendly approach in our ever-changing economy. Trent sincerely believes that “If the consumer is happy, everyone is happy.” And his goal is to do what he can to ensure that happiness for TERMdog clients.

This understanding and experience is what makes TERMdog stand out from all the other term life insurance sites you may encounter.

Most other term life websites are owned by Internet marketers or entrepreneurs. Those sites simply collect leads that they, in turn, sell to insurance agents. And they’ll sell those leads to the first agent with cash, regardless of the client’s need. You, as a prospective client, could be “sold” to someone brand new in the business, or to someone you know absolutely nothing about.

When you deal with TERMdog, on the other hand, you know you’ll receive help from trustworthy, experienced insurance advisors. That’s a major distinction.

As insurance professionals, the TERMdog pack will counsel you and guide you all the way through the insurance buying process. And as the owner of TERMdog, I will do my best to ensure your questions are answered and your life insurance needs are met.

I want to do more than sell you insurance. I want to be your best friend for life.
