Hobbies can be athletic.

For my husband, he can watch every show on cars and planes and practically narrate the show himself. He could spend the day in the woods during hunting season no matter what the weather is.
He could spend the day at the range practicing skeet or trap.
Taking a walk with our dog, Kona, is also one of the best ways for me to wind down after a full day even in the middle of the winter. She knows that each night she gets a walk after the dinner dishes are put away and waits patiently until I finish up. This might just be one of her favorite hobbies.
While some hobbies are good for our souls, some hobbies can be considered dangerous especially when it comes to Life Insurance.
Life Insurance companies can consider you a high risk to insure if you participate in hobbies such as rock climbing, surfing, scuba diving, motorcycle racing, ice climbing, and piloting.
With Balanced Care, we work with over 40 different Life Insurance companies to ensure you have the best choices for your Life Insurance needs.
One insurance company may look at piloting more hazardous than another.
One insurance company may look at rock climbing as more of a danger than another.
The important note to make here is that Life Insurance is does on a case to case basis. We ask the questions such as hobbies and medical information to make sure we are giving you every opportunity to secure Life Insurance for your family.
Having a hobby that may put your life at more risk is even more justification for your need of Life Insurance.
Your family, like your hobbies are also called your passions.
Take the first step in guarding your passions by giving Balanced Care a call.
