Issues We Have Seen Recently That May Be A Big Problem For You

There are many types of risk. The focus recently has been on business, career and stock market risk.

In reviewing situations over the last year, we have been seeing other risks:

1. Life insurance coverage amounts
2. Term insurance bought years ago is expiring and the premiums are jumping to new very expensive levels
3. Cash value insurance that has less cash value because of the lower interest rates earlier this decade and for the current year is shortening the lifetime of the policy and can cause you to not have life insurance when you most need it
4. Children that have gotten married and have children but little to no life insurance, which may cause your grandchildren to have to come live with you if the worst happened
5. Asset Protection
6. Lawsuits risking personal assets, which may cause you to work harder and longer to regain lost wealth
7. Bankruptcy potential as banks call loans or increase interest rates dramatically leaving you are unable to make the payments

In other words, what assets are at risk if any of the above happened?  What would happen to how you live if any of the above happened?

In our program, we have a module called The Lifeboat Drill which covers these situations and more. We are seeing much “opportunity” to reset and reduce cost of life insurance, better cover risk with life insurance and put assets beyond the reach of unreasonable lawsuits or bankruptcy.

Sometimes we get a call from someone that says an event just occurred and where they need to protect themselves.  Unfortunately, once the event occurs, it is too late.  If you have not reviewed your family’s life insurance and asset protection recently, call us now.

P.S.S.  Laurel Vadala has a great story about working smart and not just hard….

Years ago, I served in a Director level position for a non-profit organization.

To raise money, I organized and worked a yard sale which resulted in tons of man-hours of work, unbelievable heat on the day of the event, and at the end of the day we had only generated around $100.

A member of our Board of Directors pulled me aside and explained that I was going about this all wrong. He set a lunch with a potential donor, brought me along to the meeting, and after about an hour we walked out with a big check.

The moral of the story is: Work Smart, Not Hard.
