This weekend’s edition of the Wall Street Journal includes a cover story about many 60+ seniors looking for jobs. I have written about this a couple times in my blogs, and “seniors working longer/more” is a story that is covered by the media weekly. What is different about this story is that there is an acknowledgment that while maybe some senors continue to work because they find it rewarding or fun, many seniors are looking for a job out of necessity.

If you, a friend or a loved one is feeling the impact of the stock and housing market drops – share the good news with them. Investors are still making offers on life insurance policies for seniors 65 and older. Don’t expect your life insurance agent or even your financial advisor to recommend – both are discouraged from recommending due to their relationships with the major insurance carriers.
