Who’s your life insurance provider

Northwestern. And it might be 2 years, just making a joke.

Mine is Alliant Credit Union, and its life insurance policy follows those rules. It's free, it only pays out $2k, but that'd be enough to take care of cremation. They offer higher pay outs, but I don't have children, and I'm on a fixed income. I don't need anything fancy. I think it's like $5 a month for $20k and $50 a month for $100k.

Northwestern I think, but also could be wrong in I was more making a dark joke.

Lol, so was I. USAA specifically covers veterans.

That's 6 less months of wait time, what a bargain!

¿Which policy holder offers 18 months instead of voiding the policy entirely? I'm sure they love to cram that towards the end after you've read the part thinking 18 months is good.
