Time Magazine's Person of the Year back in 1938

Back then we didn't exactly have the internet😁, and I guess I wouldn't even bother talking about who was funding them at the time; it probably isn't worth the breath

I guess if you can't even qualify for a loan at an American bank, you probably don't stand a chance with Austrian Credit either, so maybe just don't mess around with that kind of stuff unless you want it to end up costing you dearly.

I suppose I agree, the country doesn't really matter much—unless we're talking about consumer protection or financial regulations, I guess—but the actual product is pretty much identical everywhere else in the world, barring some minor tweaks.

The US isn't some isolated financial island; the insurance companies and banks responsible for paying out compensation are active right here in the American market too. Google is your friend.
It’s basically the same financial products, the same insurance companies, and more or less the same rules of the game, just with different currencies involved, maybe.

The only catch is they're a nightmare to sell, so agents don't push them much. Doing the math on the fly is tough, and most folks aren't educated enough to feel confident selling it. Honestly? I'd take it over standard life insurance any day. It’s just way better.🤷

If something happens and you can't keep up with payments, it's a lifesaver—especially if you hit some snag during the year. Plus, the investment portfolio is totally different. I said "different," not necessarily "better."😉 I think you could see something like a 28% return over 4 years,🤔 but hey, that's just me shooting from the hip.

Personally, that's a sweet return. But look, if you actually know how to handle mutual funds and stocks yourself, you're better off doing it solo and just getting a cheap term policy.

It's a decent enough amount, I suppose, especially when you factor in that slice of the pie meant for the insurance company—even someone like Made-off probably wouldn't feel too embarrassed about that.
My bad, I didn't mean to let that slip out. No hard feelings, I guess.

If we're talking about structured financial products with managed portfolios, then I am even more intrigued...

It’s not exactly groundbreaking news, I suppose; they've been selling that stuff over in the Netherlands since all the way back in the early 90s. I think insurance companies ended up setting aside something like 6 billion dollars just to cover themselves because of how "transparently" they were supposed to be informing clients about policy costs, though I stopped following the numbers after that point. 😍I guess it might be worth looking into some kind of compensation, maybe.

Best of luck, I suppose.

God, what an idiot 🤣. I guess he probably wants to head out to Aspen for some skiing too, if he could actually afford it, I suppose.
I don't really see why anyone should care how someone else spends their money.
