Financial Protection for Families

Financial Protection for Families

A simple way to know exactly what your family needs.

5 min read

Start with a question

Which monthly costs would your family still face if your income stopped?

In plain language

Start with a simple needs review: living expenses, debts such as a mortgage, childcare and education goals, and final expenses. Then subtract your savings and any current coverage.

That number shows you how much protection your family needs. A licensed professional reviews it with you and finds coverage that fits your budget.

A simple needs review
  1. Ongoing living costsHousing, food, utilities, transportation
  2. DebtsMortgage, car loans, credit cards
  3. Future goalsChildcare, education
  4. Minus existing resourcesSavings and current coverage

A practical example

Example

The Okafor family lists their monthly expenses and how many years their children will depend on them. With that list, their licensed professional helps them choose the right coverage in one conversation.

Keys to get the most from it

  • Include every goal so your protection covers it all.
  • Review your needs every year or after big life changes.
