Today on the Ilyce Glink Show – June 21, 2009
Today on the Ilyce Glink show, Ilyce discussed her trip last week to Washington, DC for the National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE) meeting. We had a number of questions about long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance is expensive, but it can be a lot more affordable if you buy it in your early 50s or 60s rather than waiting until you’re in your 70s or 80s, when it can be unaffordable.
Universal Life Versus Term Life Insurance
If you’re thinking about buying life insurance, there are several policies to consider including a universal life insurance policy or cash value policy and term life insurance. With a universal life insurance policy, you pay over time and part of the premium goes into a savings plan with little value unless you stick with it for the long run. With term life insurance, you pay a smaller yearly premium for a certain length of time. Because term life insurance costs less, it offers more of an opportunity to save on your own.
Should You Cancel a Whole Life Policy?
I had a conversation with Helen on the show about whether she should keep her $50,000 whole life policy, for which she pays $335 per year.

Today on the Ilyce Glink Show, Ilyce talked about the First American Title Insurance settlement, as well as other places to go to look for long-term care insurance. She also took several calls about taxes, inheritances, student loans and refinancing property. Gary wanted to know what to do now that his employer is switching to a $1 for $1 match in his 401(k). All this and more on this week’s Ilyce Glink Show.

On this Sunday after Thanksgiving, Ilyce talked about CyberMonday (the day that everyone supposedly goes back to the office to begin shopping online in earnest for Christmas) and how some bloggers suggest that this is a made-up shopping day. Ilyce also took questions about whole life insurance, inheritance taxes, and whether EE bonds that a caller’s daughter inherited could be used tax-free to pay for school. All this and more on this week’s Ilyce Glink Show.

Protect Assets With Estate Planning Including Will
When you own a home with a partner who has children from another relationship you may be wondering how to protect your assets. While it’s good to buy a home as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, a will can ensure that your property inheritance desires are met. Estate planning, including a will, can protect other assets as well.
Ranking Insurance Companies
I’m often asked how to figure out whether to go with one insurance company or another. I give the standard answer:

Ilyce Glink on WSB Radio – January 28, 2007
On this week’s show, Ilyce continued the discussion about President Bush’s new health care plan. She also talked about her January Blues party, how it’s possible to give great parties for less — if you’re willing to be a little bit creative. Several callers had comments on the health care story, and others asked for information on long-term care insurance, particularly in the wake of the Governor’s information mailing that recently went out.
