Property tax

Insurance

Both have likely gone up.

Get some insurance quotes. There may be a better deal out there.

Taxes: go to your county assessor's website and see what the property taxes are and you can also see the history of that.

Risk is up to you, what you think is acceptable. I cannot answer that for you.

Also, you would have to define what you mean by low, medium and high risk.

For example: for me, high risk is penny stocks, junk bonds, and privately held REITs and i stay away from those.

It says "able"... does not mean that they will or can.

For example, my paycheck shows pending for about two days in my checking account. They would make it available immediately.

Now when they do that, and the transaction is reversed and you spend that money, you will get penalties and fines.

I would not take that risk. It sounds more like a gimmick.

Only buy term life insurance (if necessary.. when loved ones depend on your income.

Invest in index mutual funds for your retirement.

Stay away from this product (and every other cash value product) or an insurance product that "invests"

if one invests in index mutual funds for the long term, then this article does not matter at all.

If you are in the accumulating phase, and the market is down, you have a great advantage, because you are buying the index funds when they are on sale basically.

I would forget about that article.
