Are You Adequately Insured?

Health Insurance

Despite its increasing cost, health insurance typically covers expenses that far outweigh the cost of premiums. One way you might reduce your health care expenses is through a Health Savings Account (HSA). If you have a high deductible health plan, you qualify to make contributions to an HSA. Contributions are tax-deferred, potential growth is also tax-deferred and qualified distributions are tax-free.

Life Insurance

Life insurance can help provide a financially secure future for your family. Consider taking advantage of any group life insurance your employer offers. If you change jobs, though, the coverage could end. That’s why buying an individual life insurance policy outside of the workplace may make sense, especially given the price and design alternatives from which you can choose. Term life insurance provides basic protection at a cost that starts out low, but typically rises with age. Whole life insurance is permanent and its premium payments never go up as long as you pay them on time.
