Understanding Insurance Needs

Determining the right amount and type of insurance coverage begins with understanding personal risks rather than hastily purchasing policies. Individuals should first evaluate potential financial impacts of various catastrophes, such as losing a home or incurring substantial medical expenses. For instance, factors like the likelihood of certain events and their potential consequences on a family's financial stability should drive insurance choices. This approach helps ensure that individuals are not merely buying insurance products but are thoughtfully protecting against true risks in their lives.
