Financial Planning
Smart, successful financial planning begins with a basic
understanding of key financial needs.
As your life progresses, the needs of you and your family change.
Singles need to protect their earning ability. For parents, family
protection is foremost. And everyone is concerned about funding
retirement. To assist you in evaluating your financial plans, access
Union Central’s Individual Needs information for you and your
family.
Understanding The
Need For Family Protection These
are the years for building dreams-finding the right home for your
family, providing an education for your children, creating a
comfortable lifestyle you can all enjoy. You're making these dreams
become reality, and your family needs you during these important
years. What would happen to your dreams if you or your spouse were
suddenly out of the picture? Have you accumulated the funds that
would help your family continue on? Probably not. And, if you are
like many couples, you may assume the life insurance you receive
through work will replace your lost income. But it's estimated that
families need five to ten times the annual income of both parents to
continue normally. And whether it's you or your spouse who is left
behind with the children, the same security needs continue. A sound
financial plan takes everyone's needs into account.
Covering Your Mortgage First and
foremost is the roof over their heads. Do you want to make sure your
spouse and children can continue to live in their home?
Unfortunately, your long-term mortgage debt may be more than they
can handle without your income. And this does not include the cost
of repairs and upkeep the property will need to retain its value.
Relocating to a different house or apartment could drastically alter
your family's lives. Think about it. Would you want them to have any
less than they have now?
Providing The Right Credentials
Of course you want your children to have the foundation for a
promising future. In today's world that means a college education.
Actually, many career fields and companies require advanced degrees
before even considering job candidates. But could your children
continue their studies beyond high school if your support suddenly
halted? Would the money you've put aside for college be needed to
meet other expenses? Unfortunately, college costs are not expected
to go down in the years ahead. Preparing to meet this expense is key
to a financial plan that succeeds.

Protecting Their Lifestyle If
you are like most Americans, you depend on credit to make certain
purchases that enhance your family's lifestyle. For example, you
need to maintain safe and reliable transportation for your family.
You want to enjoy vacations and take on other occasional expenses.
In fact, the average household carries a credit card balance of more
than $7,000* due to these expenses. Families may have car loans and
other liabilities as well. Would you want to pass on these
responsibilities to your spouse and children? Would they need to
sell off assets such as your home or car just to keep up with
monthly payments? Without the financial resources to replace lost
income, their lifestyle could change drastically.
*Based on most recent figures from the Federal Reserve, 1997.
Maintaining Your Family's Balance
As you know, a successful family depends on the balance of its
routines. Each family member assumes responsibilities that make the
family work. And today many rely on two incomes to keep on track
with their financial goals. But if your family depends on only one
parent's income, don't forget to add up what the other parent
contributes. Would you be able to replace it? Consider the cost of
day care, or before and after school care, rides to soccer games and
scout meetings. Who would keep your house in order and feed and
nurture your loved ones while you are at work? You may have to pay
for help in maintaining balance in your lives. A smart financial
plan accounts for these routine needs.
A Vital Plan For The Future Like
your growing and evolving family, your financial plan must be a
vital and changeable design for the future. You review it frequently
to evaluate its relevance to your current needs. As your children
grow and your lifestyle changes, so must your plan. If your life
stops suddenly, your plan must carry your family forward. The death
of a husband or wife is among the most devastating losses one can
suffer – both psychologically and financially. A recent study
contained these findings:**
Following a spouse’s death:
Widows experience an average 38% drop in household income.
Widowers' incomes drop an average of 26%.
One out of 10
widows aged 45-54 years is unable to "make ends meet."
With life insurance proceeds, beneficiaries are able to: |
Pay bills and loans |
58% | |
Keep/renovate housing and contents |
24% | |
Save or invest |
18% | |
Improve or maintain lifestyle |
21% | |
Make a major purchase (home or car) |
8% |
** 1998 Survivor Study conducted by the Life Insurance Marketing
Research Association (LIMRA) International.
One effective and reliable way you can cover your financial needs is
through an appropriate life insurance policy. In fact, life
insurance is a unique solution that provides a tax-free, lump-sum
payment to beneficiaries in the amount you choose. Also important is
the fact that life insurance is flexible in the way you can budget
for it, and in the ways you can use it to meet certain expenses
while you are living.
Why Leave The Future To Chance?
No one knows what the future holds. But through thoughtful financial
planning, you can gain confidence that your family will be
protected. Even if you haven't considered all your family's needs
until now, it's not too late. Designing the right plan today can
ensure that the dreams you've built will last.
