For many, “financial protection” means life insurance. For others, it’s protecting retirement assets from market volatility, taxes and inflation. But what about unexpected health-related expenses? Or funeral planning?
Here are four protection hurdles you may experience and strategies to overcome them.
Hurdle #1
An unexpected death
When the person who is the primary source of income for a family dies
unexpectedly, it can leave a tremendous emotional as well as financial burden.
Implementing a bond ladder strategy may be a viable solution we can help you set up. This involves purchasing a series of bonds with staggered maturity dates. As each bond matures, the principal and interest can be used for immediate financial needs or reinvested in new bonds to maintain the ladder structure. This strategy offers a predictable income stream and can be structured to match your family's short-term and long-term financial obligations.
Call us and schedule an appointment to see how you may help protect those you care about against the unexpected.
Hurdle #2
Knowing what you need
What type of life insurance should I get? How much coverage do I need? Am I insurable? Do I need an exam? How long does it take to get a policy? Can I increase my coverage if I already own a policy? Where do I start? These questions (and more) can be intimidating but purchasing life insurance can be one of the most important decisions you make — and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Talk to us and determine what's right for you to meet your needs.
Hurdle #3
Long-term care (LTC) can be expensive
If you need help, a home health aide alone may cost you $50,336 a year.1 And since Medicare and health insurance may not fully cover your LTC needs, you may need to tap your personal savings. You might better leverage your money with a fund we offer. Contact us to
help you decide.
Hurdle #4
Funeral expenses and planning
Planning your own memorial service may not be something you want to think about. However, planning and pre-funding the celebration of your life can help your family at an emotional time, while sparing them from having to cover the costs. Meet with your local funeral director or visit your local funeral home’s website to see how you can start preplanning now.
