LIFE INSURANCE IS A NECESSITY

People nowadays can’t imagine life without cars – but they were once a luxury.  Today cars have become a necessity.

Life insurance is the same.  Today more than ever, insurance is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury.  Insurance can be used as a retirement fund or as a source of income for your family when you are no longer with them.

Why is it smart to have life insurance?  Because, frankly, you can’t  afford to live without it.  Why buy from the Knights of Columbus?  The Knights have the highest rating available AAA+ superior from A.M. Best and Standard & Poors in its ability to pay claims.   Don’t you want the security of knowing whenever you die,  you are dealing with the insurance company that has over a 125 year history of being there for its members?  If you decide to use the cash value of your policy for retirement, would you want to deal with a company that has the highest dividend scale in the industry?  It is currently 8.15%.  The Knights of Columbus will pay out more in dividends in 2008 ($369,320,061.00) compared to $365,287,000.00) paid out to its members, death claims, maturities, annuities etc.)  

Your future starts tomorrow.  Contact me today.
