Eight ways you can ensure financial security.

Kiplinger wrote, that many of us reexamined what really matters in our lives. Things that seemed so important before the tragedy of 911 now pale in comparison. It says, “financial security may not have seemed a high priority at that time, but it is the cornerstone of a well led life that makes so many other good things possible for your family. Kiplinger gives eight for your family.

Let's blog on 2 of them:

1. Invest In Yourself – Your earning power is the most valuable asset you’ll ever own. Keep your earning power growing through continuous education, training and personal growth.

2. Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones – Before you attempt to acquire ANY financial assets, make sure you have enough insurance against life’s big risks: serious illness, disability, and even death. My personal experience with this is that it’s so confusing. Trusting someone to give you sound advice on life and other insurance seems impossible.

Mike Silberstien, Northwestern Mutual told me once, “You can only buy insurance when you don’t need it. And the best time to buy it is when you least need it – when you are youngest and healthiest.”

A younger healthy person can get more than five times the coverage than a slightly older smoker with fair to poor health, and pay the same monthly premium. Save yourself a bundle and get protected at an early age.
