What if I have waited too long to start investing?

It is never too late to start investing. As the Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
What is the best time for me to purchase life insurance?

For many this a very personal decision. Term life insurance is a great option when you have young kids and want a certain period of financial protection for them should you unexpectedly pass away. Whole life insurance is a great option if you want coverage that doesn’t have a time limit and offers a cash value.
What is long-term care insurance?

Long-term care insurance provides coverage for nursing-home care, home-health care and adult daycare for people ages 65 and older. It can be a great product to help preserve your assets that you have worked so hard to build up. If you don’t have long-term care insurance it is very possible to lower your assets down to almost nothing. At this point Medicaid will kick in. This can be very difficult for the other spouse as they will have very little assets left to cover expenses and won’t be able to pass on much assets to their heirs.
How have annuities changed and evolved?

There are many different kinds of annuities that exist today. Annuities have undergone significant changes in the last few decades. There are still some more well known options such as the variable annuity and fixed annuity, but even these have changed with the addition of new optional riders and benefits. Registered index linked annuities (RILAs) become more popular each year as they offer a market participation rate or cap while minimizing your downside risk.
