You're still the One
Your kids have left home, and they are hopefully not relying on you financially too much now (but you never know!).
It’s great that as you enter this new phase, you’re re-thinking your, and your family’s future. Some of the things you’ve been discussing might include:
- Given the kids are a bit more independent these days, do I need as much life insurance as I used to have?
- As we get older are we planning properly for any health related issues that might come our way?
- With the cost of my life insurance going up as I get older, is there a more cost-effective option?
- If anything happened to either one of us, is there enough cash available to deal with the immediate needs of the family?
