When Johnny Carson retired from the late night scene, and Letterman and Leno moved to late night center stage, I channel surfed right over to Dave. And, I've been there ever since.

Life Insurance And Alcohol Are Not A Good Mix By : Michael Challiner Alcohol is regarded as an antiseptic or a preservative in some cases, but its effect on life insurance costs can be anything but benign.

Endowment Policy: Another Forgotten Option By : Michael Challiner These complicated financial products combine life insurance and investment growth in one package. They were most commonly used as a way of repaying a mortgage and were most popular with homebuyers in the eighties and nineties.

The charges tend to be 'front-loaded' meaning most of it is paid up front and therefore, for several years you...

Cut The Pounds – Cut The Premium By : Michael Challiner Obesity is becoming a real problem in the UK.

Better to have More Life Insurance than Less By : Rex Umunga The term "Life insurance" although might not be music to ears but it's really important.
