| Major Life Events:
Making Smart Decisions |
| Your minister
won't interrupt your wedding vows with a question
about your mutual funds. And it's unlikely your
doctor will pause during your child's delivery to
ask how you're going to pay for Junior's college
bills. But maybe they should. |
|
| When your life goes through any type
of major change--marriage, divorce, birth, death--your
financial plan should, too. Of course, emotions
can run high during these big events, and finances
are probably the last thing on your mind when you're
handling the stress of a new situation. |
|
| That's why it is important that you
find a little time, take a big breath, and review
your financial goals. If you've gotten married,
you'll want to change your plans to include your
new spouse. If you have a child, it's best to start
investing for college well before buying that first
tricycle. |
|
| The list below provides links to
advice on what to do during many of life's turning
points, good and bad. Read them over, follow their
instructions, and you'll be able to develop a new
financial plan that suits your new life. |
