I have a whole life insurance policy for my young kids. Feel like I’m getting fee’d to death. Anyone have thoughts on this? Is it better to just invest in stocks and take my lumps with the market?

Get rid of it. Get the cash pay out. Get some advice from Dave Ramsey. Just did this with my husbands policy and gave the cash back to his mom. You likely have more basis than the cash you receive, so no gain to be reported. Expensive mistake unfortunately 👎

Why not use AICPA life insurance. Has a nominal kid policy too

Thanks everyone. We’ve spent a decent amount on it so far but I’ve decided to walk away. I’ll consider it an expensive life lesson

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

The agency is calling it a “consultation fee” but client just thinks production costs more. Is that common and I just haven’t experienced it before? Or is this a big red flag?
