September is Life Insurance Awareness Month!

September serves as Life Insurance Awareness Month. We all want what is best for our families and life insurance provides our loved ones with peace of mind as well as security from any end-of-life and final expenses. Before we begin to learn about what exactly life insurance is and how beneficial it is for our family, let's understand some terminology used in life insurance policies.

eStatement Icon

Life Insurance Terms

Administrator: The person (usually the spouse, domestic partner, or close relative) that the court appoints to manage the estate of person who dies with a Will. The administrator is also called the personal representative of the estate.

Beneficiary: The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is the person, organization or trust that you define as receiving the life insurance payout. If you take out a $10,000 policy and name your child the sole beneficiary, when you die, they get $10,000. You can also assign multiple beneficiaries to your policy and define just how much of the policy they’ll receive. For example: John takes out a $25,000 life insurance policy. He names his wife and his two sons as the beneficiaries of his policy, but he specifies that his wife will receive 50% of the payout and each of his sons will receive 25% of the payout. John dies, and his wife gets $12,500, while each son gets $6,250.

Cash Value: For most whole life insurance policies, when you pay your premiums some of that money goes into an investment account. The money in this account is the cash value of that. If you cancel a policy, you can receive the cash value of the policy as payment instead of the face value.

Death Benefit: A death benefit is the money paid upon the death of the insured. It’s usually a payout of the full coverage amount defined in the policy (a $10,000 policy pays a $10,000 death benefit).

Decedent: The person who has passed.

Estate:  All liabilities as well as assets like your home become your "Estate". You would have to take inventory of all things you own and decide how your heirs and creditors would receive assets.

Executor: A person named in a Will and appointed by the court to carry out the dead person's wishes. The executer is also called the personal representative of the estate.

Face Value: The face value of the policy is simply the coverage amount the policy is worth. So, the face value of a $10,000 policy is $10,000. This is usually the same amount as the death benefit.

Living Trust:  A trust set up during the life of a person to distribute money or property to another person or organization.

Personal Representative: The administrator or executor that the court appoints to manage the estate.

Probate: The court process for distributing a dead person's assets, paying debts owed and settling the financial affairs of people when they pass.

Successor: Anyone who has the legal right to receive property of a person who dies, either under the Will or the Probate Code.

Trust: An agreement where property is given to someone to be held for the benefit of another person.

Will: A legal document with Instructions about what will happen to their property after death.

"Do I really need life insurance?"

"If you were to die, would your family struggle to pay for

your funeral, mortgage or daily living expenses?"

What End of Life Expenses to Expect

A study done by Experian in 2016 determined 73% of Americans are going to die in debt. Unless a family member cosigned with the person who passed, debt is typically not inherited by any of the surviving family members and is paid off by the estate.

What may come out of pocket for the living family members (with no insurance policies in place) may be the following:

  • Funeral Expenses - The California average is about $11,777.  
  • Nursing Home Care/Hospice Care - This can easily reach $1,000 for 24 hour care, BUT Medicaid may be able to cover 100%. 
  • Medical Bills - Depending on medical conditions and treatment, this cost only adds stress to an already difficult time.

"How much life insurance do I really need?"

"The amount of insurance depends on the standard

of living you wish to assure your dependents."

The Two Basic Types of Life Insurance:

  • What is Term Life Insurance?
  • What is Whole Life Insurance?
What is Term Life Insurance?
  • Available terms can range from 10 to 30 years 
  • Beneficiaries receive larger death payouts than whole life insurance policies
  • Benefits transfer to beneficiaries tax-free
  • Can easily be converted to Whole Life Insurance
  • Lower payments based on how young you are
  • May be a challenge to renew your policy upon expiration
  • No ability to cash out for end of life expenses
  • Protects your family from a loss of income
  • Temporary policy with an expiration date 
  • Typically costs less than Whole Life Insurance
What is Whole Life Insurance?
  • Burial costs and other final expenses are covered
  • Builds cash value, which could be used while you are alive
  • Coverage will continue as long as payments are made
  • Death Benefits transfer to beneficiaries tax-free
  • Death benefit amount can never decrease
  • The cost (Premiums) do not increase as long as payments are made
  • Smaller death payout
  • Typically higher in cost than Term Life Insurance

"I'm pretty healthy, I'll wait until I am older to get Life Insurance."

"You pay less if you get insurance when you are younger and besides

you'll be covered should any unexpected health issues arise."

 Money Icon

Think of Life Insurance as a Form of Investment

Just as some invest into the stock market and/or the real estate market, whole life policies build cash value through a portion of the money used for premiums through interest. Over time, this sum slowly grows to the point where you can borrow from it tax-free. Keep in mind, you will have to pay interest on this loan and any remaining balance will be deducted from the death benefit your loved ones are set to receive.

If the above-mentioned funds become big enough, you may have the option to trade the policy for an annuity. This would provide you with monthly payments for the rest of your life or when the funds are exhausted. While this may sound like a great idea, you would have to keep in mind, there is a chance your insurance policy will not pay out the death benefit to your loved ones.

Another option available with Whole Life Insurance is being able to surrender (sometimes known as "selling") your policy to the insurance company. By doing so, you void your insurance coverage and while you will get a sum of money, it would not be as much as the amount the insurance company would have paid out when you pass. While thinking of life insurance as an investment, understand this should not replace your savings or 401k.

How To Pick the Right Policy

Which policy best aligns for your own goals and/or family's goals? When it comes down to figuring out which policy is best, most will initially pay for term life insurance until their career reaches an established point in-which more of their earned money is used towards converting their term policy to whole life.

A Guide to Understanding Financial Terms

When reading about credit cards, mortgages, or other financial products, you may encounter financial terminology and acronyms that you aren’t familiar with. Please note, these descriptions are a guide only and are not legal definitions.

A


 

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a mortgage that offers the borrower a fixed interest rate for a set amount of time. After that time expires, the interest rate on the remaining balance varies though out the life of the loan. Depending on the terms of the mortgage, the interest rate resets each month or year. This type of mortgage is also called a variable rate mortgage.

Annual Percentage Rate

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the yearly cost of borrowing money. APR includes the interest and fees charged over a one-year period. Many types of debt include an APR such as credit cards, auto loans, mortgages and personal loans. The APR helps borrowers choose credit card offers, mortgages, loans, etc.

B


 

Balance

When referring to debt, a balance is the amount of money remaining to be repaid on a loan, credit card or mortgage. When the term "balance" refers to a checking or savings bank account, the balance is the amount of money present in the account.

Balance Transfer

A balance transfer refers to moving a balance from one account to another account, which is often an account at another financial institution. It most commonly describes transferring outstanding debt owed on a credit card to an account held at another credit card company.

Balloon Payment

A balloon payment is the money owed on a loan when the loan term expires (usually after 5-7 years). When the term is over, the borrower must pay a balloon payment for the total amount remaining on the loan, or the borrower can choose to refinance the loan for new terms and rates. Balloon loans sometimes allow the borrower to transfer the remaining amount automatically into a long-term mortgage.

Bankruptcy

When an individual or a company has debt that cannot be repaid, declaring bankruptcy gives the individual or company legal protection from the debts. Bankruptcy is a legal process that can offer relief from some or all debts, depending on the type of bankruptcy.

Budget

A budget is written plan that tracks monthly expenses and income. It is used to help manage finances, keep current with expenses and save money.

C


 

Card Holder

A card holder is the person who is issued a credit card, along with any authorized users. The primary card holder is responsible for credit card payments. Credit card holders are protected by the federal lending laws which protect consumer rights.

Cash Advance

A cash advance is a loan issued from a creditor. The most common cash advances are issued by a credit card or through a loan taken in advance of a paycheck. These types of cash advance loans charge special interest rates and fees on the amount of the advance.

Cash Advance Fee

A cash advance fee is a charge made by the bank or financial institution that the borrower owes after taking a cash advance loan. This fee could be either a one-time, flat fee that is owed at the time of the transaction or a fee charged as an annual percentage of the amount of the cash advance.

Collateral

Collateral is an asset that a lender accepts as a security for a loan. If a borrower defaults on their loan payments, the lender has the right to seize the collateral and sell it to recoup any losses.

Collections

Collections occur when a creditor, or a business, like a utility company, sells past-due debt to an agency to recover the amount owed. The delinquent debt could be past due credit card debts, utility charges, medical bills, cell phone bills or other payments that are over 6 months past due. Collection agencies attempt to recover past due debts by contacting the borrower via phone and mail.

Conventional Mortgage or Loan

A conventional mortgage or conventional loan is available through a private lender or two government-sponsored enterprises-Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Conventional loans are considered risky because they are not guaranteed by the government. These mortgages can have strict requirements and higher interest rates and fees.

Credit

Credit refers to the money that is borrowed that the borrower will need to repay.

Credit Card Charge-Offs

Occurs when a borrower does not pay the full minimum payment on a debt for several months. At that time, the creditor writes it off as bad debt. Note that a credit card charge-off does not absolve a borrower of responsibility for the debt. Interest is still owed on the balance. even after a credit card charge-off, the lender could turn over the account to a collections agency.

Credit History

A person's credit history develops as they borrow, repay and manage their loan payments, expenses and other transactions. Future loans depend on a solid credit history, because lenders check this information.

Credit Report

A credit report is a statement that has information about a person's credit history, including loan paying history and the status of credit accounts. Lenders use credit reports to help them decide if they will loan money and what interest rates they will charge.

Credit Score

A credit score is a number based on a formula using the information in a person's credit report. The result is an accurate forecast of how likely that person is to pay bills or repay loans. Lenders use credit scores to determine what interest rate they will offer on credit cards, mortgages, car loans and other loans.

Creditor

A creditor is a person or institution that extends credit by lending a borrower money. The borrower agrees to repay the funds under the agreed upon terms.

D


 

Debt

Debt is money owed to a lender, such as debt from credit cards, student loans, or a mortgage.

Debt Consolidation

Debt Consolidation means that a person's debts, whether credit card bills or loan payments, are rolled into a new loan with one monthly payment, A debt consolidation loan does not erase debt. Borrowers might pay more by consolidating debt into another type of loan.

Debt Management plan

A debt management plan is when an organization works with creditors to reduce a borrower's monthly payment and interest rates. People working through a debt management typically take 3-to-5 years to pay off debt.

Debt Counseling

Borrowers receive debt counseling (also called credit counseling) when a trained credit counselor reviews their personal finances, debt and credit history to help manage financial challenges.

Debt Settlement

Debt Settlement is a process of negotiating with creditors to accept a percentage of the full amount of debt that is charged off or severely delinquent. For-profit debt settlement companies operate to deliver profits to their organization. As part of the for-profit business model, debt settlement employees are often paid on a commission basis, based on the fees they collect from consumers.

Default

A default on a loan occurs when a loan payment is not made by the borrower according to the payment terms of an agreement.

Deferment

A loan deferment is when a lender agrees that a borrower can pause making monthly payments for a set amount of time. Loans that are deferred are not forgiven. The borrower still owes the money and must repay the debt. Deferments are often available with student loans to provide the borrower with a set amount of time before making any payments.

Delinquent

When a borrower is late or overdue on making a payment, such as on payments to credit cards, a mortgage, an automobile loan or other debt, it is called delinquent. People who are delinquent, or late, with making payments may be charged a late fee.

National Financial Awareness Day – August 14th

August 14th marks National Financial Awareness Day. This day serves as the perfect opportunity to go over your finances and see what habits could be addressed to provide financial freedom.

The concept of financial education/awareness can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin’s 1737’s Poor Richard’s Almanack. There, Mr. Franklin wrote a column called “Hints For Those That Would Be Rich.”

It was with this article, he coined the phrase and ended his column with “A penny saved is twopence clear.” This piece of advice has somehow been lost through time and has had many people believing Franklin said “A penny saved is a penny earned.” While equally sound advice, some may argue it’s the modern interpretation of what Franklin had originally said.

Read Benjamin Franklin's Article below.

Hints For Those That Would Be Rich

Benjamin Franklin’s “Hints For Those That Would Be Rich” was the closest, formal piece of financial education the American people had at the time. It wasn’t until 1849 where James William Gilbart published his article, “Ten Minutes’ Advice about Keeping a Banker.” Through this, Gilbart shared in detail, the many advantages of having a bank account along with a personal banker.

We’ve come a long way in a short amount of time and with the ease of access regarding information, we can learn timeless financial concepts, habits and tips rather instantly.

Hints For Those Who Are SafeAmerica Members

Just like Mr. Benjamin Franklin wrote his column about financial education back in 1737, SafeAmerica Credit Union too has hints for those that would be rich.

Budgeting For Short And Long Term Goals

Setting a budget and developing a spending plan is a great way to relieve uncertainty and stress while also helping to figure out how to meet both your short-term and long-term financial goals. Use this worksheet to calculate your monthly expenses and income to get an idea of what you have to work with, what your commitments are, and what you have remaining to devote to your goals.

Budgeting your finances allows you to become better prepared for those unwanted and unexpected expenses when they arise (i.e. car maintenance, home repairs, and medical costs). It also allows you to have a “true” budget when it comes to where you are spending.

Understanding Your Credit And How To Build It

From getting approved for a loan to lower interest rates, there are many benefits to improving your credit. Use this tip sheet to learn about the factors that affect your credit score and how you can improve your score (and overall financial health!) Reviewing your credit cards’ limits, interest rates and history put you into a position to space out purchases which would have less of an impact on your overall savings/checking accounts. You may find after your review, you could open a new line of credit to assist with expanding your Credit Utilization, thus improving your credit score. However, you won’t know until your make time to review your credit situation.

Building and maintaining your credit history are both an important part of everyone’s financial journey and having a reliable credit history shows lenders you are capable of making payments and on time. When first starting your credit journey there are a few options one can take to build their credit in a safe and controlled manner with one example being a youth credit card. Establishing and understanding good credit habits especially at an early age allow youth to grow into lives with responsible financial decision making.

Setting Financial Goals

Do you remember the last time you ironed out the details for your next financial goal(s)? Whether it’s for a new car, vacation, home or even education. Understanding how much money needs to be saved allows for a clear path towards reaching your goals all while staying within your budget.

Utilizing Online Banking to Be Aware of your Finances

Online Banking allows you to monitor all your transactions in a safe and timely manner. Your account activity is almost instantly displayed for your review, whether you made a payment, used your debit card, transferred funds or even paid a bill. So many things can be done with online banking, your own monitoring and peace of mind is definitely one of them.
