Financial guide to Friendsgiving

The Financial Guide to Friendsgiving in America

When you can’t make it home for Thanksgiving, throwing (or attending) a Friendsgiving dinner party is the next best thing. Friendsgiving is the perfect occasion to give thanks with your closest friends, gorge yourself on terrific food and drinks, and, of course, watch some football.

This annual get-together of great friends and food has increased in popularity over the years, and one reason for that is the cost of air travel. For example, if you live in San Francisco and want to spend the four-day Thanksgiving weekend with your family in New York City, a non-stop, round trip ticket will cost anywhere from $738 (JetBlue) to $1222 (American). If you work in a demanding professional career, your career goals might force to you stick around town. But a tight budget or work obligations shouldn’t mean you have to miss out on what many people believe to be the best holiday of the year. You’ve got friends—lots of them—and some of them might be in the same position as you are.

Why everything you think you know about life insurance is wrong

Why Everything You Think You Know About Life Insurance Is Wrong

Life insurance: as you yawn, roll your eyes and think to yourself that there couldn't possibly be anything less interesting to read— we acknowledge your lack of enthusiasm.

After all, life insurance is something that many people, especially healthy and young professionals, put off or don't consider at all. Perhaps it's due to a sense of invincibility, or maybe a notion that life insurance is for our parents.

SoFi and Protective make term life insurance dramatically easier for Millennials

SAN FRANCISCO and BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 14, 2016 — SoFi and Protective together announced a new term life insurance offering that provides up to $1 million in coverage through an easy, online application with competitive pricing and no medical exam for a majority of people under 40 – available today.

“This is a first in the industry: coverage in minutes without a medical exam in many cases, and at incredibly competitive prices,” said Andrea Blankmeyer, SoFi’s VP of Finance. “Protective has more than 100 years of experience providing valuable protection to nearly 8 million customers, and we’re happy to work together with them to deliver what we think is the easiest experience for buying term life insurance.”

Millennials, which comprise a large portion of SoFi’s member base, are especially in need of adequate life insurance coverage as they hit major financial and personal milestones, like homeownership and starting families. According to 2016 LIMRA Ownership Study data:

• Millennials are least likely of all generations to have existing life insurance coverage

• One in three households would have immediate trouble paying living expenses if they were to lose their primary wage earner, with millennial households most at risk

• Millennials overestimate the cost of life insurance premiums by 213 percent, causing them to delay getting coverage

“Protective is pleased to work with the talented team at SoFi on this innovative new product which is designed to meet the rapidly evolving expectations of younger consumers,” said Aaron Seurkamp, Chief Sales Officer at Protective. “We have specifically designed the product to make it easy and convenient for SoFi members to get the financial protection they need.”

The policies will be issued by Protective Life Insurance Company, which offers full customer support. Applicants who prefer to speak to someone in person will have the option of talking with a licensed Protective insurance advisor over the phone.
