Hi all,
First post. I have been reading the forum for the past few months and it has been extremely helpful. A little background about me. I am 51 and single, and have been in financial services most of my career in California. I started in banking and did a bit of Long term care insurance many years ago. (Not currently licensed anymore.) I made good money the last decade in real estate finance but that is no longer a viable career path. I have been on commission most of my working life and know how to prospect for clients. Lately, with the current cost of living so high here in Los Angeles, I am thinking about starting my insurance career in Austin, TX or Las Vegas, or is California where I should stay. I have friends and family in all three places. But if I go to Texas or Nevada my living expenses would be cut in half. I have two years or more in savings so I am prepared for a $15,000 first year if it happens. My plan is to obtain my life and health lic and start with med supps and FE. Then on to LTC and annuities. Ready to make a decision soon. Thoughts, ideas, or suggestions welcome. Thanks!
