OUR WHY
I'm Joe Skelley. I founded The Skelley Group after an unexpected medical situation in our family left my parents financially devastated. After years of hard work and being financially responsible, this crisis hit out of nowhere and wiped them out, even resulting in them almost losing their home.
​
Never did we ever imagine that anything like that could happen. They thought they had done everything right. In this case, what they didn't know DID hurt them.
​
I vowed to never let this happen to our family...or any other family ever again. It became my mission not only to help other families prepare and plan for the unplanned but to expand and help business owners secure better tax advantages and young professionals plan for their future.
​
My focus is educating people about the reality of what options are out there, what they really provide and how you choose the right ones for your situation that will protect you no matter what comes along.
​
The Skelley Group Insurance Agency provides you with the products you need to secure your family's future. It is our mission to employ the best products, people and programs in the financial services industry to help you achieve your financial goals.
Not All Life Insurance Is The Same
​Many traditional life Insurance policies only payout when you die. Did you know some life insurance policies can also provide access to death benefits while you're still living?
LIVING BENEFITS not only pays when you die, it also can help to take care of you and your family by enabling the owner to access the death benefit in the event you experience a critical, chronic or terminal illness.
​
With modern medicine, more people are surviving major medical conditions. Unexpected medical expenses can take a financial and physical toll on you and your loved ones. The escalating costs of medical bills many terminally ill patients face create financial hardship ​during these critical times. We want our clients to focus on getting well, not on paying the bills.
We Help Clients Become Debt Free 4 Life™
​
The longer the loan term - the more that interest figure grows exponentially, which is why the amount owed for a mortgage will, on average, be made up with as high as 50% in just interest payments. It's like paying for your house... twice! Not really fair is it?
​
Even when or IF you do manage to clear your debt - what happens next? You may need to borrow money again for something else. And the cycle continues...
​
​
The big mistake most Americans are making when it comes to paying back debt is making minimum monthly payments and using any additional money they have to make contributions to their 401k, save within a cash account, invest in the stock market or play roulette with crypto coins and NFTs. Unless your returns from all of these beats or, at the minimum, matches the embedded interest rate within your debt, then financially - you're still worse off.
​
Snowballing is taking any extra or additional money you can afford and applying that to pay off your debt. This tactic was made popular by personal finance personality Dave Ramsey. However, it has one major flaw. What happens when your debt is paid off? You're debt free. Then what happens when you need a new car, want to move to a new house or have some type of emergency need? You end up right back in debt and paying ridiculously high interest rates all over again.
​
With Debt Free 4 Life™, we take a unique approach to "snowballing" to not only eliminate debt, but to make sure you never end up in debt again.
Not only can we help you pay less debt – pay it off faster – but with our exclusive specially designed insurance contract – you’ll always have a nest where you can borrow from yourself and never need to take out an amortized loan again. This means more money in YOUR pocket – because you'll never be subject to the relentless compounding and ridiculously high interest rates being charged by the financial institutions.
​
We help you flip the script and STOP paying compound interest – and start EARNING compound interest.
What’s the catch? There is none – nor are we asking you to sign up for anything right now. The first step is simply getting clarity on where you stand.
When you click the button below, you'll see our Debt Free 4 Life™ page, where you can watch an informational video and get access to our unique "embedded interest calculator" to help you truly discover how much interest you're paying on your current debt. From there, you'll have access to additional tools to help educate you and develop a plan to help you reach your debt elimination goals.
​
I am committed to helping more Americans become Debt Free 4 Life™.

OUR SERVICES
LIVING BENEFITS
Not all life insurance is created the same. Many Life insurance policies only payout when you Die. Did you know some life insurance policies can also provide access to death benefits while you're still living.
MORTGAGE PROTECTION
Our mortgage protection insurance is designed to pay off your mortgage in the event of your death to make sure you family can keep their home no matter what.
FINAL EXPENSE
Final expense insurance allows the named insured to feel safe knowing that funeral-related expenses are covered regardless of the statutes of their estate at the time of death.
ANNUITIES
With an annuity, you can guarantee income for the rest of your life and enjoy your golden years without worrying about finances or burdening your family.
INDEXED UNIVERSAL LIFE
IUL policies allow you to take money out of your policy when you need it without a penalty, Extend Retirement Cash Flow for up to 30-40 additional years from a traditional 401k, IRA or mutual funds.
TERM/WHOLE LIFE
With term life insurance, you can save your family from worry by providing them with a cash benefit in the event of your death, giving them the security they need to avoid serious financial problems during a difficult transition.
SMALL BUSINESS TAX ADVANTAGES
Tax-Deferred Growth of Cash Value
Because an IUL policy allows the tax-deferred growth of cash value, your funds can grow and compound exponentially over time.
​
No Market Risk
Due to IUL policy cash values having a “floor,” there is no downside risk to your principal in these plans – even if the underlying index that is being tracked suffers a substantial loss or experiences a high rate of volatility. This means that you can count on having your principal protected for the short and the long term.
​
No Maximum Annual Contribution Limits
Although you may invest in a qualified retirement plan through your business, these savings vehicles will typically have annual maximum contribution limits. Unfortunately, this can hold you back from accumulating additional funds you may want or need in the future. An IUL policy, however, is not subject to these contribution limits, which means that you can continue funding your IUL policy, even if you have already “maxed out” your other retirement savings options.
​
Tax-Free Funds for Business Purchases
You can also borrow your IUL cash value for purchasing items and/or equipment for your business. Doing so may be able to help you secure more favorable access to money vs. high-Interest forms of borrowing to obtain the things your company needs, as well as for expanding your business over time.
​
Continuation of the Business
In many cases, the death of a business owner or key company executive could signify the end of the business altogether if there is not some succession plan in place. An IUL policy could be an ideal vehicle for funding a business buy-sell agreement. With a buy-sell agreement, remaining partners or key individuals can use the funds from the IUL policy to purchase the insured’s portion of the company – essentially keeping the business running in the interim. Depending on your business, there are several different ways in which a buy-sell agreement can be set up.
