Tellemarketers Don't Miss a Beat

Yesterday, after 40+ years of working, I retired.

Today I get a call on my cell phone, some women asking me if I wanted "final expense" insurance. WTF? I'm retired, not dying.

I thought that was generally called life insurance, no?

Technically, it pays out when you die, but it's marketed to pay for funeral expense. The amount of the policy is a lot lower than "normal" life insurance.

When my mom was declining, she purchased a policy that was interest bearing. Less than a year later, when she passed, the amount paid out was higher than what she paid in.

Yeah my latest robo call is wanting to discuss my Discover card interest rates. They are calling from a local number, and I live in tiny town Tennessee. I’ve started looking for the Discover card office near me. They are so flipping stupid. But it must pay out cause they keep on calling. Call enough people and you will eventually catch someone off guard.
