WHICH POLICY IS BEST FOR YOU? Gaining a firm understanding of life insurance can help you map out and plan for your family’s long-term needs. Life insurance can cover burial costs, uninsured medical bills, outstanding debts, and mortgage expenses. It provides your family with access to money when they need it to help them maintain a comfortable standard of living. Depending on your needs, there are a few different options when it comes to life insurance: term life insurance, whole life insurance, and universal life insurance. Term Life Insurance This type of insurance offers coverage for a specific period of time, usually 5–20 years. It’s a cost-effective way to provide maximum coverage for your family, but the coverage expires at the end of the term, and a death benefit is only paid if you pass away during that term. If you discontinue your premium payments, the coverage ceases. Whole Life Insurance As long as you are continuing to pay the premiums, the whole life insurance does not expire. The premiums are determined
FOOTBALL AND THANKSGIVING: A MATCH MADE IN MARKETING HEAVEN Last year, 30.3 million people tuned in to watch the NFL’s Thanksgiving showdown between the Washington Football Team and the Dallas Cowboys. For those Americans (and probably for you if you’re reading this article), football is as essential to Thanksgiving as turkey and stuffing — but why? As it turns out, there are two answers to that question. The first is that games have been played on the holiday for almost as long as it has officially existed. Thanksgiving became a holiday in 1863, and just six years later, the third American football game in history was played on it. According to SB Nation, the Young America Cricket Club and the Germantown Cricket Club faced off in that inaugural Thanksgiving game in Philadelphia, and football has been played on Thanksgiving pretty much ever since! When the NFL was founded in 1920, the Thanksgiving game was official from the get-go. The second reason we watch football on Thanksgiving is more about money than tradition. In 1934, a Detroit Lions coach, George A. Richards, decided that in order to attract more fans, his team would make a point to always play on Thanksgiving when most people were off work. To sweeten the pot, he committed his radio station (an affiliate of the NBC Blue Network) to broadcasting the Thanksgiving game live on 94 different stations across America. This idea was a hit from day one! According to Sporting News, the long-unloved Lions “not only sold out the stadium, they also had to turn people away at the gates.” In 1966, the Dallas Cowboys signed on to play every Thanksgiving, too, for similar publicity reasons. Since those early days, football-themed traditions have flourished in American families. Apart from watching games on TV, one of the most popular is organizing a pre-turkey game of family touch football a la the sitcom
