I joined Amac for the conservative representation, but I find myself often envying friends that have AARP benefits. So far, I care too much about conservative representation, but I’m not getting younger.
Why is it, that a majority of businesses don’t EVEN recognize AMAC? When asking for discounts as AMAC members, most businesses look at you like youhave 3 heads! THEN, as usual, they tell you, “we honor aarp” members. Typical response. Is AMAC even trying to get us any REAL discounts???
Ditto that. Most businesses don’t even know what or who AMAC is, they want you to join AARP. Which I may very well do just to get my discounts. AMAC talks the talk but don’t walk the walk.
And while I’m at will cancel AMAC, it’s more than obvious they don’t deliver.
If your a member of AMAC simply for the discounts, your a Rhino anyway. Im here because of their conservative values and viewpoint.
Having estate documents protects you
What many of us need is a reduced price to get this taken care of.
Suggest AMAC stay in the realm of identifying discounts for the membership.
Like the truth
This topic for the poll this week can be appreciated by giving thought to the question ” How valuable and necessary do you believe offering estate planning services ( wills, trusts , health care power of attorney ) at a discount is to our membership ? Considering how important these matters are can probably be fully appreciated if some thought is given to what would happen in the absence of these services . What these services provide is a large part of order ( as in law and order ) and it helps to remember how inheritance law had a significant influence on who could vote well into the 1800 ‘s . I’m referring to the requirement that many states had that someone needed to own a certain amount of property in order to vote in elections . So, reform of inheritance laws made it possible to have a fairer system that enabled more people to be able to vote. As for the health care power of attorney there is an example of fundamental freedom being protected and that sure enough is of great value, great importance.
These matters are all indicators of a civilized society that has respect for doing what is right , in the spirit of maintaining law and order. I appreciate and trust what AMAC is doing. In the spirit of respect for guarding Faith, Family and Freedom.
This POLL is stupid. What happened?
Perhaps the poll is a way of determining the percentage of people that claim to be conservative versus the percentage of people that live a conservative life.Is conserving a person’s wealth an important aspect of being conservative?God bless
I have been a part of a wealth management group for 20 years and have been very pleased with their service in these areas. I am not in need of any of these discount plans right now.
Is this a poll, or fishing expedition questions for AMAC advertisers? I’m not answering questions like this in this public forum, just to have some semi-automated email or phone call from an advertiser wanting to help me help them keep the lights on.
I’m disappointed, AMAC
You said what I came here to say. Thank you! I joined AMAC as an alternative to that “other group”. But all I get is polls and sales pitch emails. That ‘other group’ seems to lobby Congress and make itself known.
I wonder how good the services are at a discount. You need to have top notch people to set this up.
Trying to “up sell AMAC products / services”?
I don’t think I would put anything of value in Canada at the rate Trudeua is confiscating assests. He is one of the “young Leaders” of the WEF. I live in the socialist state of CA & am looking for another state with more sanity to move to.
What do you expect from Fidel’s son? He is his father’s offspring!
There are considerable protections when dealing with the RBC as a non-Canadian citizen. As one of the Largest Bank in the World they have thousands of accounts under their umbrella. Much like the Cayman Islands or Switzerland, require proof of Bankable Assets to gain acceptance. Not an easy as it may seem. Banking here in the US we are under the thumb of of Government regulations and the Federal Reserve. With little options except to get the heck out of Dodge before your hard earned savings are gone!
First, I have an estate accountant and lawyer on retainer. When Joe (Stalin) Biden became President, I became very concerned about my wife and I’s future finances. His plans forgoing after Retirement savings and 401K plans really had me looking into what options were available. There were a few options but only one that suited my needs. First, I had to move all of our finances out of the country and make plans to get out of the People’s Socialist Republic of Illinois as fast as possible. There were penalties and fees to pay but in the long run I did manage to save money with the financial move. The Biden Cartel did manage to take right around 50K when that was through. I had to open a Non-Resident Account with The Royal Bank of Canada but I also had to establish proof of Significant Financial Assets to qualify. That took almost two months .I kept a small bank account for checking and credit cards. Then to make our escape from the Gulag of JB Pritzker domain before the next real estate tax rape. We found a place in a neighboring state that we to our liking. We Put our two story, four bedroom, 3.5 bath Victorian (1880) 3600 sq ft. 3 stall garage on 2.5 acres. Put it on the market on a Monday and a week later reduced the price 100K and sold it the following Monday. Took a big hit but I was out of Illinois, the land where Taxes are HIGH and if you live outside of Chicago YOU have NO voice.
The peace of mind has no price. Yes we are both retired……
PS. My wife and are both Vietnam Veterans (Navy) and have NO Children. That was decided for us by NSDAP policy unfolding here after the Vietnam experience. We would feel bad bringing children into this Democrat sewer.
I dunno, so I asked my wife to do this poll, and she was afraid someone would call !
Amac, we know it’s important, but with all else going on right now……how about a poll on the NFL Gambling Operation fixing games? I bet that would get some reaction. Who watched the Bengals/Cheats game (I mean , Chiefs?). The larger question is, anyone else notice how the dark left side has taken away just about all of our joys?? I know I’m done with Roger Goddell’s gambling operation!!!
Agree, fixed game from the start.
I don’t watch American football any more at all. When the pampered millionaires started griping about how badly they were treated and started kneeling at our National Anthem, I swore I would never watch another football game again. They can all go to hell.
I am sorry but this poll is useless for creating the path of doing an estate plan because there are never any fee costs (even if just the average costs). I may not be rich but I don’t want my assets (however the amount) going into any probate setting. None of the lawyers in my area will offer cost estimates without consultation and don’t think I need to spend $1500 minimum to write up a basic will listing my assets (which don’t involve any real estate holdings, just personal possessions). I only need the lawyer to type up the official copy of my will and notarize it so it is official. More people would write up a will if getting this done was explained better. It is bad enough I have to travel/commute to any lawyer in my area because there are no state listings of every lawyer to check their credentials unless you know where to look. Some of these services don’t need to be a high cost for most of us. So, please in addressing issues like this, provide links for those of us who are not rich.
Exactly in agreement on your analysis of many of us out here.
You don’t need an attorney to prepare a will. You can find the forms on line, fill them out yourself, go to a notary (most banks have one), and sign it.
The balloon is shot down….FINALLY…of course it served it’s purpose for the CCP. This could have been done in Alaska, but Biden isn’t that smart.
About time that Chinese balloon got shot down. Agree – should has be shot down once it crossed into the 12 mile territorial limit of America (just offshore of Alaska).
Someone has to inform biden that Alaska is our 49th State. Sleepy joe must think Alaska still belongs to Russia.
The CCP was allowed to gather the information they sought for a week, since entering our air space near Alaska. Biden decided to blow it up to give “we the sheep” the impression that Biden is on our side. Just my opinion of course.
Mustn’t anger the puppet masters………
I imagine Biden owes China something. I wonder how much he and Hunter made off of this deal?
I heard some dem say that Biden didn’t want to blow it up over land for fear of it containing anthrax, the latest Chinese flu or a nuclear bomb or whatever. So ….. just a second ….. it’s okay to blow up a balloon filled with anthrax, the latest Chinese flu or a nuclear bomb when it’s only 6 miles offshore???
I am not good at making these types of decisions, but I have used AMAC for my Medicare supplement and changed cell phone plan to Pure Talk, so I may be looking into their recommended Estate planners. I trust AMAC and feel they listen to us.
How is Pure Talk working out?
Very well for me and my family.
Me, too!
I would love to switch to Pure Talk, but there are several pocket areas in my state that only Verizon covers, unfortunately.
Does Pure Talk use AT&T’s lines?
Yes, Pure Talk uses the AT&T mobility network. I don’t know how one would be depriving AT&T by switching to Pure Talk.
They don:t know how to spell financial, how can they help with anything else?
I don’t see that word used in this poll.
Not the poll – The Rosemark Ad at the bottom
My affairs were in order prior to the recent death of my wife. I will now need to make some changes though they will be minor in nature and are already agreed on with our children.
