It sure is tough to get insurance. I understand how my mortgage life insurance will decline. Im figuring at my age (46) that hopefully I will have at least another 5 years left. At that point the mortgage life insurance shouldnt have decreased by that much to make it worth the extra cost. So in 5 years, I would be able to convert it to real insurance at a more favorable rate and amount.
All I can say is that I am so glad that I picked up a bunch of insurance when I started my current job. If I wanted to change that now I would be put thru a million medical questions and probably be turned down.
