EP 33: Navigating Life Insurance and Avoiding Pitfalls!

Jun 1, 2024

Discussions of life and death are often uncomfortable. Facing our own mortality forces us to answer questions and consider scenarios we’d rather pretend do not exist. While we’d rather believe life will go on for decades and we’ll be able to continue providing for loved ones, the reality is that we don’t always have that opportunity. When individuals pass away, often their loved ones are left in a difficult financial situation, and things that previously were assumed to be a given (staying in their current home, covering day to day expenses, assisting children with education expenses, etc.) are no longer guaranteed. In this podcast, we discuss the financial implications resulting from the untimely death of a loved one and how life insurance plays an important role in ensuring your family is adequately protected. If you are interested in learning more about navigating life insurance and avoiding pitfalls, we think you’ll enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening!
