The "Secure" Option Might Be Your Riskiest Asset.
In this Warrior Wealth Week briefing, we enter the SCIF with financial experts MaKayla Morante and Steph Thomas to declassify the truth about SGLI (Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance) and VGLI (Veterans' Group Life Insurance).
Most service members assume the standard $500,000 SGLI policy is "gold standard" protection. The reality? It’s a temporary shield that disappears the moment you hang up the uniform, leaving many veterans facing a "coverage cliff" or skyrocketing VGLI premiums just as they age.
IN THIS BRIEFING:
The SGLI/VGLI Trap: Why relying 100% on government insurance is a tactical error.
Private Sector Advantage: How locking in term policies now (while you're young and healthy) saves thousands later.
The "Age Band" Warning: Breaking down how VGLI costs explode every 5 years after separation.
Spouse Coverage Gaps: Why FSGLI often falls short for military families.
