529 plans is not the best when it comes to financial aid (426 views)

But let’s face it. No matter how much we manage to save for the college education of out children, we still fall short in the end, considering the ever increasing education costs. So, the child is going to need financial aid in the end. Some say that the more you save up for your child’s education, the less would be the financial-aid he would be receiving. This is unfortunately true in the case of the 529 plan. Financial aid is awarded in the form of grants or subsidized loans and the amount of aid depends on the ‘financial need’ of the student. The total resources and family funding is deducted from the cost of attending college in order to calculate the financial need. This could effectively mean the 529 savings plan you have invested in would reduce the amount of financial aid dollar to dollar. Fortunately, it is not so. While there would be no dollar to dollar cut in the aid, there would be a deduction of up to 5.6% of the amount in 529 plan owned by parents.

Fifty is no bar for life insurance (175 views)

There are many who still need life insurance even after they’ve reached an advanced age. The most common reason is that, people who have taken Term life insurance policies will be rendered without coverage after the completion of the term by which time they will obviously be above fifty years of age. Term policies are taken under the assumption that by the time the term finishes, the beneficiaries of the policy would be capable of taking care of themselves and that there would be enough savings left to cover for the funeral and other expenses of the person in case of death. More often than not, the low/middle income group individual who issued the policy would still be left with people clinging for their support and there would just not be enough savings for those who are left behind, sometimes not even covering funeral expenditure.

Understanding Term Life insurance quote (188 views)

Another issue is the reliability factor of the given term quote itself. More often than not, the quote is subject to change, not because the quote providers are drawing the figures out of air, but because insurance companies tend to tweak your applications and add up a lot of factors towards drawing up the final premium rates. There is no general questionnaire that you can expect either. Supposing your medical history showed an accident that occurred while rock climbing, an additional risk factor is added based on your passion for adventure sports. The family medical history is screened for a plethora of hereditary diseases and every occurrence of such a disease adds up. Author: BeamaLife
