Last updated on: August 29, 2012 at 8:00 am By Kevin

Have you seen any of those ads for “President Obama’s Debt Relief Act (Plan, Program, etc)”? If you have one or more credit cards you probably have.

When reality doesn’t meet our expectations, we get disappointed. So when I heard a 50-year-old man complaining that he wasted 20 years of his life paying into a term life insurance policy, I couldn’t help but think: Is life insurance a waste of money, or did he just not have...
