Insurance in Your Financial Plan

Having a financial plan in place is a vital component of a successful financial future. What if something devastating were to derail your plan? What if your working spouse was to unexpectedly pass away or become incapacitated? What if your own health was to take a turn for the worse, and you too were unable to work? Would you be able to continue funding your retirement and savings accounts? It could become increasingly difficult to maintain the integrity of your financial plan. Luckily, financial loss resulting from such unexpected critical financial events can be mitigated by utilizing insurance in your financial plan.

A financial plan is only effective if the continuity of its components remain in good working order. Thus, it is extremely important for you to protect the gears of your financial plan from unexpected critical financial events; and the devastating financial loss that could follow.

These events can lower your likelihood of achieving your goals. Instead of focusing all of your financial efforts on saving for retirement or achieving other financial goals, you now bear the burden of unexpected financial obligations; most of which are unavoidable and very costly. Lacking proper insurance coverage, you could jeopardize all of your savings, investments and hard work.
