Insurance Basics and When to Think About Getting a Will

About this session

Ready to get your finances in check? Join Abigail Vachon, PowerToFly Sourcer and former Financial Advisor, for four Q&A sessions that are sure to bring you one step closer to your financial goals!

PART IV: INSURANCE BASICS - WHEN TO THINK ABOUT GETTING A WILL

No one likes shopping (or paying) for insurance, but should the time come when you need to use it, you'll never be more thankful for taking the time to ensure you've chosen the right plan. The same can be said for life insurance - and knowing when it's time to plan ahead. It's always better to be "safe" than sorry!

You asked, she's answering:

  • What insurance do I NEED, and what can I skip?
  • What are the different types of life insurance?
  • When should I start a will?
  • & More!

Sign up for parts II, III, and IV below!

PART I: CASH FLOW, AND CONSIDERING A BUDGET

PART II: GET TO KNOW YOUR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

PART III: INVESTING BASICS AND SAVINGS STRATEGIES
