The growth in sales of income protection products will cause the life insurance industry some headaches unless they manage claims better, Asteron EM National Sales Mark Vilo says.
“The challenge for the industry will be to manage income protection portfolios profitably,” he told insuranceNEWS.com.au. “Obviously there will be an increase of claims in the future.”
Mr Vilo says income protection sales increased as advisers switched from investment products to life insurance.
“Advisers have faced challenging times and they have been looking for ways of creating more income, and that has been from insurance.”
Mr Vilo says he has also seen a lot of younger advisers joining the industry deciding to sell life insurance instead of advising on investments.
“These young advisers have looked at the life insurance industry and seen it can make a good living for them,” he said. “The whole dyna
I was recently contacted by a well-known real estate guru whose name you would instantly recognize. I’d never spoken with him before but apparently he got my phone number from a mutual friend.
This guru told me he had a big project in development and wanted me to be part of it. But first, he wanted to know how I was making money these days and what I was personally doing. I told him that today I was doing a lot of subject-to’s and that I was trying to acquire a lot of rental properties to hold onto for the long term.
After all, the real estate market is still in the tank in many places and you can pick up bargain rental properties and just sit on them until the day you die. In fact, that’s the dirty little secret that nobody wants you to know.
If you really want to become wealthy as a real estate investor you need to own multiple (quality) rental properties and you need to pay them off over time until you own them free and clear. That wa

How much money makes you rich? According to Americans surveyed recently by Gallup, you’re rich if you have $1 million in assets, or $150,000 in annual income.
Those were the median answers; people with college degrees, those with larger incomes, and those who live in cities and suburbs tended to give higher answers.
Planet Money Question of the Day:
How much money makes you rich?
We know that true wealth is the love of friends and family, the satisfaction of a job well done, etc. We know this is a wildly subjective question.
But we’re looking for numbers here: Please tell us, in terms of annual income and/or net worth, what’s the minimum required to count as rich? Feel free to add context such as age, family size, and what part of the country (or the world) you’re talking about.
If you want to chew over some data before answering, here’s a graph showing the distribution of household incomes in America, and here’s more from the Gallup survey.
Please post your answer in the comments.
