I was playing with my granddaughter over the weekend. There’s probably nothing she likes better than being chased and I forget how clumsy I can be. Anyway, I tripped a bruised a rib and as we all know there isn’t anything you can do about that except try...

There is probably no age group market that is more sought after or more abused than the senior life insurance market. What a wake up call it was (several years ago) when I flew past 50 and started getting offers for life insurance for seniors. Being a life insurance...

When I go through my daily Google Alerts to keep current with life insurance related matters, one of the topics I follow is “Final Expense Life Insurance”. More than any other topic I follow this is absolutely riddled with a combination of bad advice and...
