Should we be teaching teens about life insurance 🤔

Here are some reasons children under 18 need to know about life insurance and why it matters 👇🏾

1. **Financial Education**: Life insurance introduces teens to essential financial concepts like compound interest and the Rule of 72, helping them develop financial literacy from an early age.

2. **Responsibility**: It teaches responsibility by making them aware of the importance of planning for their family's future.

3. **Tax Benefits**: Learning about the potential tax advantages of life insurance can help teens make informed financial decisions.

4. **Estate Planning**: Teens can appreciate how life insurance plays a role in estate planning and wealth transfer, especially since they're the ones inheriting all of this real estate, these businesses, and these investments.

5. **College Funding**: Teens can learn how life insurance can be used to fund college education if something were to happen to the breadwinners.

6. **Career Choices**: Understanding life insurance can influence their career choices, as some may consider careers in the insurance or financial industry.

7. **Financial Security**: Overall, it instills the value of financial security and responsible financial planning, setting them on a path toward a more financially stable future.

Teaching teens about life insurance early on (and long before anything happens) is a key part of holistic family financial education and planning for their future.

(Shameless plug: This is an excellent workshop topic if you have a group of teens and a great reason to order The Teens Guide to Wealth! We have a version that’s faith based and one that’s strictly financial education for schools.)

Happy !

How do Black Financial Advisors promote financial wellness and make a difference in the Black Community? 👇🏿



My perspective? It starts with our youth!



Teaching our young people about wealth, what it is, how to build it, AND how to keep it ensures that all the businesses, real estate, investments, and inheritance that's passed down to them stays and grows in the family!



Eric Harley, Rodney Bowden, Ryan Hawkins and I will be speaking about this on our panel moderated by Eugene Mitchell this week AAAA's National V.I.S.I.O.N. Conference in D.C. - see you there!!

Cheers to living generously, living well, and living blessed! Happy Labor Day!

Here's a quick question to consider as we go into a new month... 👇🏿

Was your answer "no" or "I'm not sure"? The start of a new month is always a great time to set a date to review your financial goals, create a financial plan with a licensed advisor, and take the steps to establish your insurance and retirement plans!

Was your answer "yes"? Having confidence in your financial plan is important! However, if you haven't reviewed your financial plan in the last few months, or things in your life have changed, the start of a new month could be a great time to take a look at your financial plan and consider making any changes.

Whether your answer was yes, no, or I'm not sure, financial planning is not a one-and-done activity. But, it is important to get it done!

The best moment of the week by far... setting up investment and emergency savings accounts for this young couple in college! It's a blessing to be alongside them as they invest in their financial future 🙌🏾

Money "stuff" doesn't have to be confusing, boring, or all over the place. That's why one of my favorite questions to ask is... "what does financial clarity look and feel like to you?" Then, we can work toward it and build your financial house from the ground up!

Inquiring minds want to know... could retirement still be a possibility when income is inconsistent? 🤔

Is Retirement a Reality When Income is Inconsistent? Did you know that 95 percent of people who work 40 hours a week for 40 years never actually retire? That means someone who has what’s considered “regular” income doesn’t even retire. That’s a hard pill to swallow.

All smiles after today's BLack Advisors Strategy Training (BLAST). It's the beginning of something EPIC!!
