Investing and Financial Planning
for Individuals

Whether you're single because you've never married, or are suddenly
single due to divorce or death of a spouse, money management and
financial planning are critical. You have only yourself to depend on for
income, goal-setting, decision-making, and retirement planning.

Divorced

Divorce can be devastating not only to  your emotional state of mind but
also to your finances. You will lose many of your assets, your credit will
sometimes suffer, and you will find yourself forced to reassess your
entire financial picture.

Always remember that while this may be a very difficult time, it does not
mean that you cannot recover. A financial plan can help you evaluate
your current financial affairs, and help you determine your short term and
long term goals.

Never Married

If you are single and have never been married there are several factors
you need to consider when making financial decisions. Here is a list of
some of the things you should consider:

  • Disability: Because you don't have a second family income, it's
    very important that you protect your income-generating power by
    buying long-term disability insurance, and if possible, short-term
    disability insurance.

  • Wills:  If you own anything of value (car, jewelry, house or condo,
    computer, savings account, etc.), you should have a will
    specifying who will get your belongings if you die. If you have
    children, a will is an absolute must, because it's the method for
    designating a guardian for them.


Death of A Spouse

The death of a spouse at any age is one of the most difficult life
circumstances you can face. Dealing with your finances at such an
emotional time is especially difficult yet critical. One of the earliest and
biggest issues to be addressed is cash flow. Death benefits need to be
identified and applied for as quickly as possible.
