Have you ever felt like you were being sold something that just didn’t fit? Like a solution that seemed more about the salesperson’s goals than your actual needs? That’s what it feels like when life insurance is approached the wrong way—when you’re a square peg being forced into a round hole. It’s uncomfortable, ineffective, and potentially costly.
At LifeInsuranceReview.com (LIR), we believe there’s a better way. One that’s personalized, professional, and fiduciary-first. In other words, we don't try to sell you a one-size-fits-all product—we help you explore, compare, and verify your life insurance options so you make the right decision based on your needs, goals, and values.
Let’s dive into why so many consumers—and even professionals like attorneys, CPAs, and fiduciary advisors—trust LIR, and how we help you avoid becoming another “square peg in a round hole.”
Understanding the Idiom: A Square Peg in a Round Hole
The phrase “a square peg in a round hole” refers to a person or thing that doesn’t fit into a particular situation or system. It’s a misfit. And unfortunately, that’s exactly how many people feel after buying life insurance that doesn’t actually align with their goals.
Why does this happen?
Because most people are sold life insurance policies by agents, brokers, or advisors who are focused on products—not planning. Many are commission-driven and only offer solutions from a limited menu, often tied to their company’s interests or compensation structure.
It’s no wonder that 9 out of 10 life insurance policies we review at LifeInsuranceReview.com reveal opportunities for improvement—whether that’s reducing costs, improving benefits, or fixing a policy that was simply never the right fit to begin with.
LIR: The Fiduciary Approach that Changes Everything
Unlike traditional agents or brokers, LIR operates independently and with a fiduciary mindset. That means we act in the best interest of you—the client—not an insurance carrier or sales quota.
Here’s what makes us different:
✅ We Explore – Without Pressure
We start by understanding your goals. Whether you’re planning for income protection, estate planning, legacy gifting, or retirement optimization, we ask the right questions to clarify your needs.
✅ We Compare – Objectively
Our experts have access to a broad marketplace of carriers and product types—term life, whole life, indexed universal life (IUL), and more. We don’t promote one company over another. We analyze options based on performance, flexibility, costs, and benefits—especially living benefits like critical, chronic, or terminal illness access.
✅ We Verify – With Integrity
We conduct thorough, fiduciary-based reviews of existing life insurance policies, spotting hidden fees, outdated features, and missed opportunities. If a policy should be optimized, replaced, or surrendered, we’ll tell you. If it’s a keeper, we’ll confirm that too.
The goal? No more guesswork. No more sales games. Just clarity and confidence.
Why Consumers and Professionals Trust LIR
Many clients come to us feeling unsure or even frustrated about their current life insurance. Others are professionals—attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, trustees—who refer their clients to us because they trust our independent, ethical, and client-first process.
