Ah ha… you’re a skier too. If I lived close we would probably be very good friends – seem to have so many things in common. I love skiing.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for including my post, I appreciate it.

I’m sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. The bad thing about the AD&D policies is that there is a lot of confusion about when they pay and what they pay out for.

I agree with Casual Observers comment, that when you’re young it makes a lot more sense as a supplemental than it does when you’re older.

Oh, and age is also a pretty big factor. The chances that you'll die from accident as opposed to natural causes decreases as you get older. This is largely because deaths from natural causes increase substantially as you get older. So an accidental death policy might make a lot of sense at at 25, but not as much sense at age 75. .-= The Casual ObserverÂ´s last blog ..DirecTV Review =-.

I have cheap AD&D coverage through work. I like it as supplementary coverage, but it definitely shouldn’t be used as primary coverage – that’s really not what’s it is designed for. It’s important to know that the chances of dying in an accident are quite slim and take that into account when you do a cost/benefit analysis. In my particular case, the payout is something like $60,000 per $1 of monthly premium, so it’s worth the risk.

Thanks for the include! That snow is looking really scary right now…. maybe that’s why it’s already starting to feel like the holidays…. we went from summer to winter in two weeks. Hoping for a prolonged Indian summer….
