Here are a few myths and misnomers. Buy Term & Invest the Difference: This money motto has been around for over 50 years. It’s based on comparing term life insurance costs to whole life insurance premiums. By subtracting the difference, you have money leftover to invest. But invest in what – market risk investments that are taxable outside ERISA retirement plans? Generally speaking, whole life insurance is a great bond alternative that accumulates tax deferred and is distributed via policy loans tax-free. You could also purchase domestic or foreign indices that have a hedge position against market loss. Today’s cash value life insurance is not your grandfather’s life insurance and “buying term and invest the difference” is an antiquated platitude, which few do. They spend the difference. Employer Provides Coverage: It’s a great benefit to have, but not a benefit your dependents can live on. Two to three times earnings are almost always inadequate to protect a family. Employer coverage is a good start but not a complete life insurance plan. Life Insurance is Outside My Belief System: Life happens everyday. But for some people life always happens to others and never to themselves. They somehow imagine themselves immune to Read more…

Gulf Coast Group Johnny John & The Schemin’ Dreamers Release Debut Powerhouse AOR EP
The new release, Let There Be Drums! from brand new Gulf Coast recording project Johnny John and the Schemin’ Dreamers proudly goes against the music trends of modernity. The brainchild of drummer Johnny Harrelson, featuring Florida guitarist Joe Pizzolato, bassist Adrian Howland, keyboardist Cody Collum and veteran Organist Red Young (Eric Burdon, Linda Ronstadt, Freddy Fender); Engineered by Rick Hirsch (Wet Willie, Greg Allman, Bonnie Bramlett), Mixed and Mastered by Jack Miele (Blues Traveler, John Oates); Let There Be Drums! is an exhibition of progressive musicianship. Fans of Gary Moore, Cozy Powell, Frank Marino, and Jeff Beck will certainly enjoy this record. The burning question for such a release is why? Drummer-Producer Johnny Harrelson states that: “Initially I wanted to put something out that said this kind of music is still viable and worth doing. I wanted this to be a testament to the musicianship of the era. Yet, there are many other reasons too. It was worth letting everyone know that there are some good young players here on the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. We were very privileged to have Rick Hirsch agree to engineer it. His insights from the era we touched on were primary. He is a primary Read more…

The Impact Tax Favored Treatment
Can a society take on the additional hardship of surviving dependents? Life insurance is one of the great redemptive solutions to our economic health as a nation and that’s precisely why the government has granted tax advantages to life insurance. It’s simply in the best interest of country. With individual freedom comes individual responsibility. Being a good steward of your family’s finances depends upon having the proper insurance policies in place in case the unexpected occurs. Life insurance for the breadwinner and business owner protects all their dependents and business partners. It insulates against financial loss. The economic leverage can be substantial and for most scenarios, life insurance proceeds are tax-free. But cash value life insurance has additional tax-free features like tax-free income via collateralized policy loans as long as the policy is kept in force for the life of the policy insured. The cash value life insurance policy must be issued as a non-modified endowment contract. Tax-free distributions of loans, under these conditions, are not characterized as a form of income and are not includable in the provisional income test for Social Security benefits. There is a menu of crediting options to choose from, based on your risk tolerance. Read more…
Women’s Issues Need to Be Addressed
Life insurance can be the great equalizer in a world of inequality. Retired couples can statistically bank on the woman outliving her husband 87% of the time. The average female survivor lives to age 93. That means that half of American women will live longer than that! Recently, Susannah Jones lived to the age 116. She was born in 1899, giving her the distinction of being America’s last tri- centurion. But she’s not the oldest documented person in the Guinness Book of World Records. That honor is held by Jean Calment who died in 1997 at 122 years, 164 days. Women generally outlast their husbands and live longer, a lot longer. Living longer can generally be a good thing if you have wealth and your health. But many middle class widows have neither. When their husbands pass away, they generally lose their spousal benefit in lieu of their husband’s benefit. So if the husband’s Social Security monthly benefit is $2,500 and her benefit is $1,250, she’ll elect to have her husband’s larger benefit, but she loses hers in the election process. They were earning $45,000 a year in Social Security benefits, now she’s earning only $30,000 in benefits. For most Read more…
DHEA Improves Bone Density and Cartilage
Osteoporosis causes 9 million bone fractures a year. In fact, one third of women over age 50 and 20% of men over age 50 will have a bone fracture this year. According to research done by Dr. Edward Weise at Saint Louis University’s Doisy College of Health Sciences, taking a DHEA supplement when calcium and vitamin D levels are maintained at normal levels allows improvements in spinal bone density. Dr. Weise says “In addition to its beneficial effects on bone, DHEA replacement may have other benefits including improvements in risk factors for diabetes and heart disease, improvements in immune function, and improvements in psychological health,” In another study published by Catherine Jankowski, Gozasky, Schwartz, et al, administration of DHEA to elderly individuals with low DHEA-S levels improved hip Bone Marrow Density (BMD) in men and women and lumbar BMD in women. The study involved 70 women and 70 men (60-88 years). Consequently, correcting DHEA deficiency might help prevent osteoporosis fractures. A link to the article by Dr. Jankowski, et al entitled “Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone Replacement Therapy on Bone Mineral Density in Older Adults: A randomized controlled trial” from the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism is provided here www.jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/91/8/2986 In humans Read more…
