The Foundation of a Strong Financial Plan: Protection First
A durable financial plan starts with protection. Before chasing returns, make sure the right insurance, type, and amount, is in place to guard your income, family, and future.
The strongest financial plans don’t start with chasing returns, they start with protecting what you’ve already built. Before allocating dollars to investments, a prudent review confirms you have the right type and right amount of insurance to absorb risks that could derail your goals.
That initial protection layer typically includes life insurance (to replace income and settle obligations), disability insurance (to safeguard earnings potential), and…depending on age and objectives, long-term care coverage (to protect assets and choices later in life). These tools don’t replace investing; they stabilize the plan so investing can do its job.
Why independence matters
When you seek guidance, look for an approach that is independent, objective, and transparent. An advisor who evaluates multiple carriers and strategies can align recommendations with your goals, not with a single playbook. The focus should be your needs, time horizon, health profile, and budget, not a preference for one product over another.
No one-size-fits-all—especially with insurance
One-size-fits-all does not apply to your financial plan—and neither should it to your insurance advice. Your family structure, cash flow, liabilities, business interests, and estate priorities are unique. Term insurance, permanent insurance, or a blended approach each has a role depending on what you’re solving for: income protection, legacy, liquidity, or tax-aware planning. The right answer is the one that fits you.
A clear next step
If it’s been more than a year since your last review, or your life has changed…start with a protection checkup. Confirm coverage amounts, beneficiaries, policy types, and costs. From there, build the growth strategy on a secure foundation.
