While no one ever wants to think about their eventual demise, the
simple fact is that at some time we are all going to die at some point
in time. Perhaps it is this fact that also means that a large percentage
of people don't want to think about buying a life insurance policy or
making monthly payments for some that only those who are left behind are
going to get any use out of. Yet we all have a responsibility to
prepare for our families in the event of our death.
Even though you should never be without some form of life insurance and of all the different types of insurance you can buy, it is the least expensive. At the same time you need to spend a little time looking around to find a range of life insurance policy quotes before you settle on one. Up until just a few years ago the only place you could buy any type of insurance was in a traditional bricks and mortar insurance agency.
This meant that these agencies had carte blanche to charge you any rate they felt they could get away with for any type of insurance you were in the market for. This remained the status quo for decades and as such the majority of us ended up paying far more than we should for far less coverage than we really needed.
In the latter half of the 20th century television commercials and bulk mail advertising started to offer you promises of significantly lower rates. For as much as these advertisements made amazing promises, very few if anyone ever qualified for these advertised rates. In fact the majority of these ads were merely bait and switch tactics to get you to spend far more money than the advertised prices.
During this time period the only way you could find better prices for your life insurance was to go from one agent to another by either telephone or spending hours driving around. Both of these methods were very time consuming and if you were driving all over town could end up being very expensive. However, at the time they were the only real alternatives available if you wanted to save money.
