Planning for the future means focusing on the dreams and goals important to you and your family. In the years to come, you’ll put great effort into saving what you can and investing it wisely in order to make those aspirations a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What many people forget, however, is to make sure they’re putting at least a little time and effort into protecting what they’ve worked so hard to build. Despite your best efforts, <\/span>you can’t predict <\/span>what unexpected events might alter the course of your best-laid plans. What you can do is make sure you and your family are prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From establishing an emergency fund<\/a> to ensuring your investments are suitable for the phase of life you’re in, there are many ways you can and should protect your assets. For most of us, the biggest concern from a protection standpoint is having sufficient financial coverage in place for our families in the event of our premature death. And that’s the box most people forget to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need for financial coverage in the event of a premature death is very real. According to a study by financial services trade group LIMRA, <\/span>44 percent of U.S. households <\/span>would feel adverse financial impacts within six months if a primary wage earner died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now may be a good time to consider your own protection strategy<\/a>. Is your coverage adequate to meet your family’s long-term needs? Will it fulfill not only their current income needs, but also enable them to continue pursuing their own goals and dreams, such as a secure retirement or <\/span>college education <\/span>for their children<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also important to stay up to date with coverage. \u201cYour protection needs will evolve over time,” says Troy Randall, senior manager of Insured Solutions at RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cWhat works in your younger working years may not be sufficient as you grow older.” He suggests regularly reviewing your existing insurance coverage and making adjustments in accordance with changes in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s important to recognize that life moves through stages, and your protection strategies should reflect that,” he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the issues to consider as you move through different stages of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Ages 20-29 \u2013 entering the working world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Statistically speaking, young adults generally face a low death rate, but there is still a need to plan for the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At younger ages, relatively inexpensive options for life insurance<\/a> coverage, called term insurance, may be an appropriate option. According to <\/span>research by LIMRA, 43 percent of millennials overestimate the cost of life insurance by as much as three times the actual amount. As a general rule, the younger you are when you purchase life insurance, the lower the premiums will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial obligations are often limited at this stage, and you may have few or no dependents. Yet, in the case of the unexpected, your financial commitments could become someone else’s responsibility if you don’t have some form of life insurance coverage in place. These may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Mortgage or rent payments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Debt obligations such as credit cards and auto loans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Childcare and education expenses for any dependents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Final expenses, such as funeral costs and medical bills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ages 30-49 \u2013 becoming established<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe real trigger for a life insurance need is when someone else is financially dependent on you,” says Jerry Moran, insurance consultant with RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cThis could be when you marry, have a domestic partner or become a parent<\/a>.” If you’re no longer in the picture, Moran says, that creates a real financial gap for those who depend on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, your earnings from work are likely to grow significantly, and your life is likely to get more expensive. Financial obligations are growing and long-term financial goals are becoming better defined. \u201cA good rule of thumb,” Randall says, \u201cis to have sufficient protection in place to cover 10 to 15 times your annual income if you are married and\/or have children.” Your specific requirements may vary, but think about how much potential future income would be lost if you were no longer around. Key expenses to cover include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The full balance of a mortgage or auto payment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Regular living costs to maintain your family’s current lifestyle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Funding a stay-at-home parent\/partner who relies on your income<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Children’s expenses, from daycare to college costs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Medical bills or any final expenses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ongoing contributions to achieve key financial goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the primary purpose of life insurance is to provide financial protection for survivors in the event of your death, you might consider another opportunity at this point in life. \u201cYou can diversify your retirement income strategy<\/a> by funding a permanent life insurance policy,” suggests Moran. \u201cThis can create an extra bucket of future income that may be accessed in a tax-advantaged way to go along with a robust workplace savings plan and IRA.” For example, you can supplement your retirement income stream by taking tax-free withdrawals or loans from a permanent life insurance policy. Keep in mind that doing so reduces the policy’s death benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ages 50-59 \u2013 solidifying your financial future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the stage of life where most people enter their peak earning years. You’re likely to be able to set aside larger sums of money to meet your most important life goals. An unexpected death at a time like this could be particularly detrimental to the financial security of your survivors. According to Randall, \u201cEven if there are fewer financial dependents under your roof, you still want to leave sufficient coverage to deal with expenses and continue to fund goals.” This is important because you want to be sure survivors, especially your spouse or domestic partner, can avoid having to liquidate assets in an untimely manner to meet their own day-to-day living expenses. Consider coverage for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Any remaining mortgage balance(s) or other debts and unpaid bills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Protecting a non-working spouse from loss of income or assistance to parents or in-laws<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Keeping a retirement plan on track<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Health care and long-term care costs<\/a>, along with any final expenses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ongoing care for special needs situations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Creating a legacy or financial cushion for beneficiaries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond life insurance, you may also want to consider options for long-term care coverage. \u201cYou need to be concerned not just about premature death, but also protecting against living longer and needing care later in life,” Moran says. Traditional long-term care coverage is an option, but he suggests individuals also explore life insurance policies that may include long-term care income benefits. The advantage, Moran says, is that you aren’t putting money in a \u201cuse it or lose it” policy. \u201cNow you can look at the policy and know that somebody you care about will receive a benefit from it \u2013 either you for long-term care needs, or heirs receiving a death benefit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ages 60 and over \u2013 protecting retirement and your legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you may be winding down or have completed the phase of life where you earn income from work, life insurance still matters. In this stage, you want to consider ways to protect the cash flow needs of a surviving spouse. As Randall points out, \u201cMany retired couples depend on Social Security and pensions as their primary retirement income, but when a spouse dies, those payments may be reduced even though living expenses don’t change dramatically.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another consideration is to pay attention to your legacy plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPermanent life insurance can be a tax-efficient tool for passing on wealth<\/a> to the next generation,” Moran says. He says you may want to consider buying a life insurance policy with money intended for beneficiaries. When you die, the named beneficiaries would receive policy proceeds tax free (though the value of the death benefit may still apply toward the gross value of the estate for estate tax purposes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this later stage in life, your strategy should be adjusted to protect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A desired lifestyle in retirement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ongoing cash flow needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Paying off mortgages and other remaining debts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Potential long-term care costs for a surviving spouse or family member<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Taxes that may apply to assets inherited or passed to heirs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Charitable intentions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Other estate planning considerations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your house in order and revisit regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your unexpected death would leave a void in many ways. But ensuring your loved ones are covered financially can help prepare them for the challenges they’d face if you were no longer around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewing your protection strategy on a regular basis, at least every few years, can help you be as prepared as possible, Randall says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want to make sure the coverage you have in place is suitable for where you are in life and where you intend to go,” he adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
