Most of us get an insurance policy and we\u2019re done for life. Did you know you can obtain multiple policies and should? Maybe you couldn\u2019t afford the one you really wanted at this season in life? It\u2019s okay to get what you can afford or wish to afford now. \u00a0You can always get another later. In fact, I believe in diversifying this. What if your only policy holder goes belly up or is a fraud? Then your loved ones are left with nothing. Pickup policies along the journey of life. You might wish to have policies for each member of your family or organizations that matter to you. \u00a0In other words, be a planner.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be too aggressive in your life insurance policy. \u00a0Hard times come to us all. There\u2019s no reason you should place all your eggs in one basket. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Opportunities will come at your left and right; it\u2019s okay to take advantage. Here are just a few ideas on how you can diversify simply and inexpensively:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Company provided life insurance.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Most employers these days offer life insurance for employees and family members at very reasonable rates. \u00a0Take advantage in the event something happens to you while employed. This can be one stream of many in your long-term savings for others. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Personal life insurance.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Search for personal life insurance policies that make sense for you. \u00a0These are the life insurance policies that people try to sell you. Think of this as one item in a portfolio of long-term savings for the people you treasure most and the total long term savings package for others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Bank provided life insurance. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This one is similar to the employer provided life insurance. \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/banking-for-dummies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a good bank or in my case a credit union<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who offers life insurance at reasonable rates. \u00a0If you plan on sticking with a bank for decades, why not take advantage of their other benefits. \u00a0It makes sense and it can make a huge difference.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today is Friday!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life insurance is a long term investment like retirement funds. \u00a0The only difference is <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/your-benefit-not-theirs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">retirements are for you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and life insurance is for others. \u00a0At any rate, you should treat them with the same care and attention. \u00a0It\u2019s your life, your family, your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c7ced4;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#E1E8EE;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/familyplan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Family Plan Binder<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/familyplan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1025\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Family-Plan-Cover-e1493399146525.png?resize=115%2C149\" alt=\"\" width=\"115\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a> is available now! <p><\/p>\nOur team has worked very hard putting it together.
