Loss of a loved one

Any time there is a lass of a loved one the last item to come to the minds of the grieving family is burial insurance. With the passing of my brother in law this last week it has become very apparent to me that I need to update my burial insurance and make sure my family is covered in case of an accident or sudden death.

Other items I will need to make sure that are covered are my life insurance with updated beneficiaries and mortgage insurance to make sure the family home stays in the family long after I have passed away. I had no idea mortgage protection insurance was so very important until the sisters husband passed away leaving them with no protection.

After updating my life insurance I will get my wife’s updated too and that way we are covered in the event of either one of us passing away. This is a very touchy subject around the family right now and I may get a bit of flak for pushing this through right now but I really feel like it is super important, right now especially.

NAA Life Insurance Company will be a very important part of this updating I really like the protection that they offer and they have stepped up in the past to give us great coverage. This is an investment in piece of mind and I really need the closure right now.

Market is killing me

I have a bit of money in a 401K from when i worked at the radio station and I check it once in a while, this down turn in the economy is killing me. I have lost over 3 grand in the last year I hope it can recover but this is a huge blow to our retirement portfolio. I am not sure what to do I can throw more money at the plan or let it ride and hope it recovers I do not know which way to go at this point. I guess I will wait until after the election to see who is elected President and see if that helps.
