Ah, the good old days. Milk was 50 cents a gallon. Gas was 25 cents a gallon. A new car was under $2000. And life insurance, well, life insurance was so expensive that people had to pay for it by the week. The good old days of life insurance are where we are. In spite...

I’m working on one of those stranger than fiction life insurance cases right now. When I shopped it and got the first round of responses I literally sent all of them back out and ask them if they had read my request correctly. Surely they had missed something...
