Mine only.   My husbands success dictated I follow him into the business.  Otherwise how would we protect his assets if he becomes unable to continue?

I am doing it for the money.  I am good at finding companies that pay the highest in commission.  I'd feel bad if I mistakenly illustrated a product incorrectly.  Other than that, I'm doing it for the money...and I happen to help alot of people while doing so.

That's why most people do what they do.  Example:  doctors & lawyers

There are people who run car dealerships selling high end mercedez, ferrari,

etc… Do you think they should close shop because they feel that these rich

folks should be driving Saturns or Buicks instead? You are a businessman

aren’t you?

If you're not money motivated you're in the wrong business. As for selling annuities, if you work for a company that sells annuities and only annuities, well then, that's your job. Make as much money as you can at it.

If a young couple walks into a BMW dealer and it becomes evident fairly early in the process that they are really stretching themselves financially to buy the car, it's not the car dealer's place to lecture them on money management and tell them they'd be a lot better off down at the KIA store. It's the BMW salesman's job to get that unit across the curb and off the dealer's lot. As long as the customer qualifies for financing that salesman has his marching orders. As for annuity salespeople, same thing, to a point. As long as there has been full disclosure, and the customer wants the product, it's their job to close the case. Why is this a problem?
