If you’ve been around our site for any length of time we are pro-life insurance. And, more specifically, term life insurance. I got my term policy back in 2004 after waking up to my financial situation of being some $20k in debt, unemployed, and not wanting to leave a legacy of debt behind should something
I really hope I don’t have to write a follow up to this post. Seriously. Because if I write a follow up that means my baby daughter or wife has been sick and I’ve had to find out how well medical cost sharing through Medi-Share works. Our family has officially signed up for coverage –

The following is a guest post by my mother who is debt-free and lives very modestly in Small Town, USA. While she does not work for pay, she spends time blessing others by giving of herself and her time. My son has invited me to write an article for this blog about senior citizen benefits. I share his
Thirteen years ago, I was in the midst of reorganizing my financial life after accumulating a boat-load of debt and coming to terms with the terrible financial decisions that had put me in that position. It wasn’t a great time in my life – but it was probably one of the most important moments in
I got a letter from my insurance agent out of the blue last week. Now, I’ve been with this agency for over 15 years. In fact, I’ve been with them for all of my life, as my father used them too. So, I do trust them when they make recommendations like this. Here’s how the letter
