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...

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...

I am firmly on record as believing with all my heart that MetLife may own the rights to use Snoopy, but morally they don’t deserve it. I first lost my patience with their Snoopy abuse when I found the bottom line on their patriotic offer to provide life...

Can you imagine how bored I would get if I couldn’t count on AARP to provide blog material on an absolutely continuous, unending basis? After all of the really awful things I’ve had to say about the AARP/New York Life insurance program over the years, my...

I want to confess right up front that the title to this post is plagiarized from a New York Life article where they do their best to make the case that bells and whistles and an agent in your home are worth the higher cost for their product. I’ve only been to...

New York Life has started a newsletter on Twitter and decided to follow me, I suspect because of this real fondness I have for their overpriced term products, their love of whole life and the commissions they get from it, and last but by no means least, their sick...

New York Life must be on a revenue generation mission. My latest AARP magazine had an advertisement for their AARP group term insurance with an increased limit I hadn’t seen before. You can now “add to your family’s financial security with up to...
