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 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...

Everyone wants a deal. My wife never buys anything without throwing out the Dave Ramsey line, “Is that the best you can do?”, and I am amazed at how much and where she gets discounts. Too bad Dave has never asked his own life insurance agent that, but...

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’ve minced no words over the years about how bad the AARP/New York Life life insurance program is. It is so egregiously over priced and under guaranteed that I swear, if I got selling it to some elderly person in their home, I could be justifiably locked up....

I just got my monthly reminder from AARP that I have not yet purchased that life insurance through the AARP Life insurance program that I inquired about 5 years ago, and I haven’t talked about senior life insurance or final expense life insurance for a while so...

I had emailed some quotes off to a client this week with Genworth Life and Annuity, a major player in no lapse guarantee UL’s and in this case the best rate class offer I had received when shopping the case. She went on line and found out that Genworth has been...

For us more seasoned life insurance buyers there is an industry tendency to want to squeeze us all into the same companies and product type, senior life insurance or final expense life insurance. This would be OK 1. if over 60 life insurance needs really did change or...

When you’re over 50 life insurance offers start coming from everywhere. Final Expense insurance. Burial life insurance. The truth is that the senior life insurance market is the most hammered niche in the industry. Why? They think they can push our buttons when...

I know that you know that I seem to have a real case of the can’t shut ups when it comes to the New York Life / AARP life insurance program, but AARP is so in the face of our country and especially the elderly among us, well, it’s become kind of personal....

A few years ago I shopped for final expense life insurance just to see what was available and being pushed. I knew there was a propensity in the industry to push some really overpriced, under guaranteed products as senior life insurance. I just wanted to experience...

If you’re over age 50 you get mail from AARP at least twice a month, if not more, inviting you to become a member and/or just partake of all the great deals they offer even if you’re not a member. If you, your parents, family or friends have fallen for the...

Occasionally I review old posts to update or delete them and sometimes I run across one that I can remember writing. I feel my anxiety disorder getting pumped up. I feel my blood pressure rise and, well, I repost it. From 2008!! With each new magazine or bulletin, my...

When a person gets into their 60’s, 70’s and above there is a real life insurance industry tendency to try to shove them into the final expense market, even at a time when people are working longer and have larger needs than most final expense policies...
