In fact, a recent study found that 78% of global families haven\u2019t had a real, in-depth talk about life insurance\u2014proof that long-term coverage planning is often delayed or simply overlooked. What\u2019s more, 60% of adult children assumed their parents had coverage, yet only 44% of parents said they actually did. That\u2019s a big gap, and it doesn\u2019t stop at insurance\u2014families are also missing key discussions around retirement, healthcare costs, and legacy planning, which can leave loved ones unprepared when it matters most.<\/p>\n<p>One simple, practical habit I encourage is holding a family meeting each year, or after big life changes, to talk through protection needs and make sure everyone\u2019s on the same page. These open conversations, paired with guidance from a financial professional, help make sure life insurance becomes an intentional part of your bigger saving, investing, and retirement picture. My experience\u2014both as an insurance advisor and as someone who\u2019s owned a small business for decades\u2014has taught me that real peace of mind starts with honest, ongoing planning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years working with families here in Southern Indiana and Louisville, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how easily life insurance conversations can slip through the cracks.
