I had an agent questioning me about indexed universal life today. He admitted he was a new agent. He also admitted that one of his primary attractions to the product were the high premium and high commission. Call me old fashioned but I emailed back to him and asked...

There are some things, things medical, mental and lifestyle, that some insurance companies may never let go of. 15 or 20 years after the fact it is entirely possible that there are companies that will unflinchingly say no thanks to your life insurance business even...

Here we go again. I called New York Life this morning to see if I could be assigned a permanent contact to call when beneficiaries are getting the run around on death claims. I ended up talking to the executive assistant for NYL Executive Vice President Michael...

Now that the Dow is back up where people are feeling optimistic, or at least relieved to have regained some worth in their retirement accounts, it’s time to take a little preventive medicine to avoid that upset stomach the next time the bottom falls out. While I...

I had an interesting scenario pop up while I was on vacation. Pam hates it when I get side tracked by life insurance when I am supposed to be recharging my batteries, but the truth is my job is fun and batteries can be recharged in more than one way. So I devoted a...

Turning a declined life insurance application into an approval is usually not that hard. It’s how I make a living. But I have to admit that turning a decline from Allstate into a preferred plus approval through one of my companies is kind of like laying down a...

For the most part medical records are what they, unreadable scribblings interspersed with occasional labs that are fairly understandable and other kinds of test results that might make sense to a doctor, but are of no use to you or me. There is an area of life...

I’ve spent significant time in my career in life insurance explaining to clients and potential clients the difference between what an underwriter says and what their doctor has told them. They are often two starkly different opinions and it creates confusion...

I’ve decided, for the sake of us elderly folks and all of us who are related to elderly folks and anyone who gives a damn about treating people right, to get off the fence and say what I really think about AARP and their New York Life insurance plan. For those...

Have you ever had anything lost in the mail, whether going or coming? It’s not a new occurrence with the US Postal Service, but being in a business that depends on mail delivery to some extent, I’ve noticed that the amount of mail being blasted into the...

It’s one thing when a lack of customer service results in you not getting your empty coffee cup refreshed, but when a life insurance agent goes south on service and the life insurance company they represent joins them on the beach it can end in disaster. When a...

I took a call this morning that popped up a question for civilian contractors and workers in war zones that I had honestly not considered. The call was from a widow whose husband worked for a US company in Afghanistan and died while working there about six months ago...

I wish I had the time to write a blog just on AARP/New York Life and their awful over 50 life insruance products and service. Since helping a couple of beneficiaries collect claims that AARP had told them they weren’t going to pay it’s obvious a person...

Any of us who have financial responsibilities should have life insurance to cover the need. I carry life insurance that would pay off rental property and our home if I died, leaving my wife with an income stream and no debt. I carry some more that would replace the...

There are some downsides to being raised in a place and by parents that molded me into a trusting person. Several months ago I was approached by two guys who wanted me to partner with them and process all of the business from their Afghanistan website for civilian...
