On average, a disability insurance policy will cost between one and three percent of your annual income, making it one of the more inexpensive risk management tools. Oftentimes, this is less than the annual insurance costs of all other types of asset insurance (home, auto, etc.)! #disabilityinsurance #disabilitypolicy

Have you secured enough disability insurance to protect your paychecks? While being able to cover your current lifestyle is a great starting point, you may also need to consider long-term needs, especially if you are relying on a retirement match. As you evaluate your disability insurance coverage, you should consider the whole of your financial plan to secure enough coverage to meet your short-term needs and sustain your long-term goals. #disabilityinsurance #financialplanning

Having your clients create an estate plan can be a crucial component of their overall financial strategy. It enables them to have a clearly defined plan for the distribution of their assets upon their passing, as well as important directives for decisions to be made on their behalf. There are five main steps your clients will need to complete to set up and maintain an estate plan: 1) Establish a power of attorney to make financial or medical decisions on their behalf, if they become incapacitated. 2) Create a living will to provide instructions to handle situations like life-prolonging treatments, artificial life support, and pain relief or palliative care. 3) Make a last will and testament to outline who will receive their assets after your death, an executor of the will, and other personal wishes regarding their assets. 4) Consider creating a trust to give them greater control over how their assets will be distributed. 5) Update their estate plan regularly so it continues to reflect their needs and wishes. #estateplanning #finanicalliteracy For a comprehensive review of your personal situation, always consult your legal advisor. Neither Cetera Advisor Networks LLC, nor any of its representatives may give legal advice.

When discussing compound interest with clients, it’s important for them to remember that it not only applies to saving and investing but also to loans they’ve taken out. This can affect the money they owe over time. Even simple interest, which saves borrowers money over compounding interest, can have a large overall impact, especially on high loan balances such as a mortgage or student loan.

For your clients who are renters, it’s a good idea to remind them that they may be able to negotiate the terms of their rent! If they’re facing a rent increase or would just like to reduce their monthly payment, here are some tips that could help them strengthen their case for a better rate: 1) Have them conduct research into comparable properties in their area and present their findings to their landlord. 2) Remind them to time their request right (for example, when their lease is up for renewal). 3) Instruct them to present themselves as a model tenant who helps protect their landlord’s investment 4) Have them consider signing a longer lease to reduce their monthly payment. #financialtips #financialliteracy
