After noticing my car magnets offering Medicare guidance, an elderly lady approached me to ask me a critical question: Does she have to change her Medicare insurance before Dec. 7?
I eased the elderly lady’s mind by asking her if she’s happy with her current plan. She said she is, so I advised her [...]

It’s time to look into picking up Medicare Part C.
Medicare enrollment season is upon us. It began Sat., October 15, a month earlier than previous years.
This is the time of the year from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 that disabled and elderly Americans can select a Part C [...]
Suze Orman is entertaining to watch and often gives good financial advice, but it’s mainly common sense:
Pay off your credit cards monthly. Live within your means. Have a rainy day fund. Max out your 401K up to the employer match.
But as usual her personal vendetta against life insurance [...]
You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it.
Social security is going to be bankrupt when Generation Xers finally retire from working.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Nevertheless Americans are worried about their retirement and their children’s futures. The few jobs that offer pensions are underfunding them. Some workers are saying they will [...]

I’m always disappointed when I file my taxes and only get a few hundred dollars for a refund, especially when I hear of people boasting that they’ve received a $2,500 refund check. Most recently, two of my life insurance customers shocked me about their $5,000 and $8,000 refund checks.
Now, I understand why [...]
People pay too much for benefits on the job, and they are robbed by all of the vendors who come through their employer’s doors to offer cancer plans, critical illness plans, dental plans, disability, accident plans, life insurance and more.
That $2 weekly deduction for dental, $10 for cancer coverage and $1 for [...]

When it comes to health insurance benefits, the best coverage is offered through a group plan with an employer. I sold health care plans earlier in my insurance career and realized how individual health plans were a scam because insurers would reject applicants for pre-existing conditions and find loopholes to deny claims. So [...]

People who struggle with credit cards and other consumer debt can declare bankruptcy. People who can no longer afford their home can have a short sale or go into foreclosure. But people who can’t pay their student loans will have to shoulder their burden to their grave unless they pony up.

I’m not knocking Suze Orman. But I’m warning her followers not to heed her advice to make extra payments to your mortgage bank in order to pay off your house early.
