Financial stability is the key to a successful life. People have to learn to manage their money well in order to live a stable lifestyle where they can have the things they want most out of life. Life insurance, on the other hand, works a little differently because you are not provisioning for your current financial status. Even though the insurance is in place so that your future financial needs can be met when you are no longer around, it will still impact your current finances as you are spending that money right now. For that reason, you have to consider your current financial situation in order to ensure the affordability of such a policy. You may have the best intentions of providing for your family when you are gone, but if you end up falling short on your monthly payments because of it, then it won’t make good financial sense to take the policy out just yet.

The best way to find the best possible premium is to shop around. You need to be able to get quotes from a variety of places so that you can compare life insurance quotes. You need to be able to compare what the quotes cost, what benefits they offer and whether or not they can be extended to cover you for any other life changing events. Unfortunately, death is not the only thing that we need to worry about. We have to consider the possibility of disablement and dreaded disease as well. It may not seem like a big risk, but the problem is that if it occurs you could end up in apposition where you can’t work and provide for your family the same way you would under normal circumstances. Being disabled or falling ill with cancer doesn’t mean that you no longer need to be provided for, because you are still around. In fact, over and above your usual monthly costs, you also have to pay for treatments for the illness as well as your comfort levels. If you become disabled, you would have to modify your house for wheelchair access for example. You would also need to pay for the wheelchair itself for example. These things can become quite costly, and if you are already struggling to manage your finances, you will put a lot more strain on the household income with the additional expenses.

It’s important to plan for all of these financial events in case they happen. If you haven’t reviewed your financial situation recently, it is time to take stock and see where you are at.

New Haven, Connecticut (PRWEB) October 22, 2014

More than 70 higher education and K-12 educators and administrators gathered last week to share ideas and best practices in financial literacy education at Bridging the Gap: Increasing Financial Capability Among College-Bound Students, a symposium held in advance of the Council for Economic Education’s Annual Conference and hosted by Higher One, a leader in providing financial services and data analytics to more than 1,900 colleges and universities.

“The symposium created a wonderful environment where professionals from both K-12 and higher education could come together and discuss the needs of today’s students in regard to financial education—we were able to address concerns and give possible solutions for our specific student populations,” said attendee and presenter Ashleigh Lewis, student development professor and ‘Academic Foundations’ coordinator at Tyler Junior College in Texas. “The importance of financial education was highlighted and verified as a significant aspect within a student’s progression and completion of their degree.”

Money Matters on Campus, a recently released research report that examined the financial attitudes and behaviors of 65,000 first-year college students, found that those who received financial literacy education in high school scored significantly higher than their peers on financial knowledge questions and are more responsible when it comes to money.

However, even though K-12 and college-level interventions can have a positive impact on a student’s ability to become financially capable, there has been a lack of dialogue between K-12 and higher education practitioners on the issue, explained Mary Johnson, director of financial literacy and student aid policy at Higher One.

“After seeing that the conversation about financial literacy education has been predominantly separate in terms of K-12 and higher education, Higher One wanted to bring together these groups to explore the different ways each is preparing students to succeed through innovative approaches to financial literacy,” said Johnson. “The results of Money Matters on Campus show the need to start financial literacy education in the K-12 setting and continue throughout a student’s college years—it’s imperative that we work together to bridge the gap and increase financial capability among students.”

Bridging the Gap featured an array of speakers, including Eileen Klein, president of the Arizona Board of Regents, who showcased the state’s AZ Earn to Learn initiative that aims to “prepare high school students for college with financial education and matching funds.” Further, a panel of K-12 innovators and high school educators—featuring teachers from Reading, Ohio, and Duncanville, Texas—discussed the ways in which they have addressed financial literacy in high school courses through peer-to-peer mentorship programs and mobile technologies, including the Moneythink model.

“One of our district’s core beliefs is that our schools should be impacting the community. Producing graduates who are credit wise borrowers, disciplined savers and savvy investors will result in both personal financial security and a healthy local economy,” said attendee and presenter Jerry Lozier, economics instructor at Duncanville High School. “I have found that our students rank personal financial literacy and smart money management as the most important skills they need to acquire for future successes in the ‘real world.’ This event introduced me to an entire network of individuals committed to helping students learn these necessary and relevant skills.”

From a higher education perspective, attendees learned about Tyler Junior College’s “Good Cents” financial literacy program, which has been established through a partnership with a local bank; Sam Houston State University’s Student Money Management Center, offering financial coaching sessions, workshops and classroom presentations; and heard from Bryan Ashton, assistant director of the student life student wellness center at The Ohio State University, who highlighted his institution’s approach to financial literacy, which includes a focus on peer-to-peer counseling as “preparing students for successful citizenship beyond college.”
