The Last Word

So, who are we?
Are we the industry Senator McCaskill says we are?
The majority of us are taking advantage of seniors.
Are we the industry Consumer Reports says we are?
The next financial fiasco.
Are we the industry top U.S. bank regulator John Dugan said we are?
The next subprime product (Oh, I forgot…he really didn’t mean to say that…).
So what do you think? Who are we?
Here is who we are!
We are the industry that allows seniors to maintain or in many cases increase their present lifestyle.
We are the industry that swoops in like a superhero and prevents a senior’s home from being foreclosed on and then says “you’ll never have to worry about a house payment again for the rest of your life!”
We are the industry that allows seniors to have the finest long-term care insurance available when they thought they could never afford it.
We are the industry that gives seniors a choice of remaining in their home when they thought they could not otherwise afford it.
We are the industry that allows seniors to remodel their home and make it safer and easier to navigate in their later years.
We are the industry that allows seniors to have the finest in-home care when they need it, not just when they can afford it.
We are the industry that allows seniors to payoff their present mortgage, their auto loan and their credit cards and live their retirement years with no monthly debt service.
We are the industry that allows seniors to afford the rising costs of their medicines, their taxes, their insurance, gas & groceries.
We are the industry that allows seniors to have a “cash reserve” for the first time in years, a little “piece of mind” in these terribly volatile financial times.
We are the industry that allows seniors to take that dream vacation, buy that motor home, play golf or tennis or do what ever makes them happy at this point in their lives.
We are the industry that takes the pressure off the children wondering, “how are we going to help Mom & Dad?”
We are the industry that allows seniors to assist their children and grand children while they are still alive to enjoy the act.
The list just goes on and on…. anyone of you reading this could probably add many more.
So bring it on Senator McCaskill! Bring it on Mr. Dugan. Keep writing your trash Consumer Reports because we’re not going away. We’re going to keep doing what we do and we’re going to scream it from the rooftops every chance we get.
We’re going to help so many Moms, Dads, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Aunts & Uncles have a better quality of life that all our adversaries will have left to say is “ whoops, I guess we were wrong, good job!”
That’s who we are!
AND THAT’S THE LAST WORD!
Have a great month and let’s help as many seniors as possible!
