There has been endless talk about the collapse of equity markets and emergence of a global recession. Many people have lost a large percentage of their savings, hell, even the house in which they live isn’t worth anything close to what it was 2 years ago.
Among all of this hype and the endless amount of advice coming from the government, specialty advisors and websites, I would like to add an action to your ‘Manage your Finances to do’ list.
Take another look at your life insurance policy. When you took out the policy years ago, you probably thought the coverage would be sufficient enough so that in the unfortunate event of your death, your loved ones could maintain their quality of life without having to sell off any major assets (i.e. the family home). This might not be the case any longer.
So when you’re taking a look at your new financial situation, don’t forget to reassess your life insurance policy. You could increase the payout for a short period of time and then when our economic situation improves, which God helping it will be soon, you can merely decrease the payout or leave your loved ones with a little bonus.
