The Importance Of Life Insurance: A Short Story

By Maryl Joop


David Crowe was a lawyer, but not a very happy one. Of course, the number of people who regularly use the word "happy" to describe lawyers is probably not all that high to begin with, but this was an especially unhappy day for David Crowe.

This means that you need to keep track of how much you are working each week and then see if it is really worth your time that you are putting into it. Many times when people move up to salary they actually take a pay cut but don't realize it because it is a bigger number but they are actually expected to be in the office on Saturdays or late into Fridays.

David tried not to think about this realization as he hurriedly progressed closer to home. There was a time when the advent of winter signaled the start of the ski season for David and his family. Every Saturday morning was set aside for trips to a local ski resort, starting when his first child was a mere five years old. His friends often wondered aloud how much fun taking a five-year-old girl skiing could possibly be, but once she entered junior high and routinely bested all the boys on the ski team, the other fathers began to understand.

One such initial question that one will want to ask themselves is if they want a primary care physician or a specialized doctor. The answer to that question will depend on immediate need, but traditionally those who are looking for a doctor are doing so for regular checkups and annual health care. For these individuals the right answer will typically be that they are looking for a primary care doctor. The advantages of a primary care physician are that a person can build a relationship with their primary care physician that will be beneficial in the long term health of that individual.

A primary care doctor will be able to see medical changes with time that could signify a rising medical issue as well as be able to refer patients to specialists as need, thereby taking out the need for an individual to seek out a specialist they can trust on their own. Another important question for individuals who are looking for a doctor to ask themselves is if the doctors they are investigating are listed in the policy network of their affordable health insurance in Utah.

Insurance companies have networks of doctors that accept the insurance coverage, which acceptance of insurance coverage will be absolutely paramount in importance for an individual who is looking for a new doctor.

It wasn't that he didn't agree, he just hated buying into the idea that he might be leaving his wife and family someday. But after today, seeing his client win the money that he so desperately needed to take care of his family, it was hard for David to justify putting off a decision that would better protect his. His wife was right. All it would take is a quick phone call to their personal health insurance agent to get the ball rolling.

Make sure that you realize all of the costs and benefits before you go jumping into the next job. There are a lot of things that you can learn by taking the time to really do the math and actually look at the people who made the choice to be salaried. This may deter or sway your opinion so make sure you keep your eyes open and be willing to ask people what it is like. Remember that everyone has a bias but the math you do is definitely not biased.

The Key To Successful Wealth Building - Financial Planning

By Frank Miller


Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don't recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets. Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you've read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.

Investing in "paper assets" is a great way to start building wealth. It teaches you the principals of money management, capital, rates of returns, risk etc. You can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, and foreign exchange ("Forex"). Each of these options presents various levels of risk and reward and requires thorough research before you start. You don't necessarily have to read the Wall Street Journal daily or subscribe to Fortune magazine in order to be a good stock investor. But you should at least get trained by an expert or have access to wholly independent financial advice from an experienced investor.

The major problem about following any of these systems is that it takes time. Anyone who has truly succeeded in these models did not make their "fortunes" or supposed fortunes overnight. It took a lot of hard work and it took time. Should you really want to build wealth, the first key to success is keeping the main thing the main thing. Whatever your choice is for a business model you have to keep it the main focus of your thoughts, feelings and actions. The wealth building process includes not just a business, but it includes the managing and direction of your money. Some people believe that just because they have a business even if the income is good or great, that they don't necessarily need to focus too much attention on the management of it. Well that in truth is the fastest way to eventually undue everything that you worked so hard for.

Some people boast as to how much money they made from some venture, this makes others feel bad, that they did not get the piece of the pie. Wealth is energy, people will either vibrate with it or not. You can build your own empire, provided that you have the end in mind. You want a million dollar lifestyle then you must build it. How? There is only one way and that is to keep the main thing (your business) the main thing (not be distracted by other things or claims).

The success of many businesses is created through longevity. That is an undeniable fact. Any company to be on the top rung of the ladder has brought itself there through persistence and planning. Success is not luck. You have heard over and over again, build a business that is the road to wealth and independence. Let me mention something here. There are those who have made a living at victimizing you and then telling you, the failure is you not the business. The truth is that your failure may be part of it, the other most likely is the lack of support or the "lies' you are being fed. Most of these guru's in marketing did not make their fortunes overnight. It took some time and a lot of thought, into their campaigns and promotions. Most of them are based on how they can take advantage of you. More on this later. Wealth building is a process, it starts with you. You can start on a shoe string or have enough financing to get a large leap into the business you have chosen. The other part of the wealth building process is the management of income that is earned by your efforts. This revenue should do 2 things, one is for paying your basic business expenses and the other is for building the wealth portion of your life. This is inclusive of obtaining income producing long term equity assets such as real estate, oil leases other business investments. There are two other considerations, your current lifestyle and the overall marketing and business strategies.

This process takes time, I know we all have seen "The Secret" and they did make a point that it doesn't happen overnight. They couldn't tell you how long it will take, but what was the prevalent theme? Keep in good spirits and keep working on what it is that you want. I believe this is the greatest and wisest piece of advice to give anyone who truly wants more in life. Let us get real. You want to accomplish something great, start moving into that direction and it will happen, if you apply the fundamental's of business and manage your money correctly. A wealth building plan is not difficult to set up, I can teach in a day! Not all the details but general overview. If you want to know the truth it does take detailed planning. I know a lot of people don't like to hear that. It is the truth, you have to take it one step at a time. That is what they have gone over in "The Secret" by telling you to "Start" by writing down the things that you want. Can you accelerate the process? Yes and No. Yes there may be some strategies that will help you get to your goals faster, and no there are simply some things that just take time.
