Description

Dear Liz: I am a retired, debt-free veteran who is 68. I am grappling with whether I should continue to pay premiums of $25,000 annually for the next seven years on an indexed universal life policy.

I bought it based on advice from a local financial advisor who is not a certified financial planner but who is supposedly acting as a fiduciary on my behalf.
