Anyone ever apply for more life insurance than the 5x maximum amount you can get without a Statement of Health? Was it a quick decision? Did you need a medical exam? Trying to decide if it’s worth maxing out at 10x salary for the extra $10-$12 per month or add coverage outside employment to supplement the 5x I have with the firm.

Not PWC but in a similar situation. I'm looking at AICPA endorsed as it seems to be cheaper than other term policies and competitive with my employer group term policy. Also doesn't hurt to have in place in case I leave my current employer.

I do think the PwC plan is portable but I could be wrong. Check to see if you can keep the employer group plan if you leave. If that’s the case then maybe between that and the AICPA one you have enough for now

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
