Another Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Tax Disaster

Another Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Tax Disaster

One thing that you should do is have your life insurance policy serviced by a qualified agent, who won’t let you get blindsided like this.  It is probably not that great an idea to use a policy that you want to stay in force as a liquidity source.  If you are upside down maybe, there is a way to keep the policy alive.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
