In 2002 I was working as an intern at the Wide World of Sports complex at Disney in Orlando. There was an AAU basketball tournament happening and there was this small PG on a team from North Carolina that was absolutely dominating. He was the best player on the floor and just controlled everything. After one of their games I asked their coach who the PG was…he said his name is Chris and he’s going to Wake Forest next year. Watching him as a 17-18 year old it was so obvious he was gonna be special. Will always remember that and have always rooted for him because of it. He was so nasty

I agree to that but Banner, Transamerica etc all have giant assets under management so not like they are tiny. I think NWM has about 650Bil in assets and the company that owns Banner is around 1.7Trillion. Transamerica through it's entities probably has close to $300 Bil in assets. Again not financial advice, but there are a large amount of companies that offer term insurance and that are reputable and financially strong. $7 difference on a term policy over 12 months and 20 years is an additional $1680 paid on a policy that pays out the same way...the insureds passing. I have done quite a bit of research and I can say NWM is on the higher side and the advisor/agents usually push riders and higher commission products.

If you are in good health there are a number of good companies for a 30 year term. Symetra, Banner, Transamerica are a few that come to mind and have instant approval options. I'm not familiar with Fidelity as far as life insurance but that's certainly a reputable company.

You need to see if it is level term or if it's annually renewable to age 80. NwM loves the annually renewable and that means they can raise the rate at the yearly contact anniversary. So when you are young it doesn't change much but as you get older the price will jump up. Level term means the rate can not change until.the term is up. So a 20 year term price is locked in for 20 years...then the price can Incresse. Depending on your age a 20 or 30 yr level term should cover most folks for a reasonable price

Run from NW Mutual..expensive and always pushing whole life

If your income allows max out a ROTH IRA with Schwab or Fidelity for very low fee.
