If you're paying for life insurance and you're retired, here's how to know if you should keep an old policy in place
Q: My mother is 97 years old, in excellent health and living independently in her own home. For a very lengthy period of time, she’s paid for a whole life insurance policy. The premium is $121, paid semi-annually. Does she really need to continue to pay premiums on this policy or can she cease paying and just leave the policy alone?
