I ran into a client of mine at a networking event this morning and he shared with the group a heartbreaking story about his high school best friend and how he passed away prematurely

His friend Joe (for the sake of the story) of 30+ years was a former army vet and one of those people that when you meet them, you know they are special.

He normally does a Sunday bowling league with his buddies.

He mentioned how he wasn’t feeling good to his wife, she told him to take it easy but he pushed through and did it anyway.

He had been having some heart issues and was scheduled to have a stint put in today but today didn’t come for him and the unthinkable happened.

Joe collapsed on the floor last week with his wife present and was without oxygen for over 35 minutes. He was pronounced brain dead by the doctors later that day at the age of 55.

The reason I share this story is to firstly remind everyone if you are not feeling well or haven’t been to the doctor in years PLEASE GO IN!

Secondly if you don’t have any life insurance in place, please schedule a time with me to go over options. It doesn’t take longer than 30 minutes and sleeping well at night knowing your loved ones are taken care is priceless.

Situations like this happen everyday, let’s have a plan in place for you!

Half of recent grads are moving back home after finishing school. While living with parents can have its own challenges, many of them see it as an opportunity to save—and use what they'd have spent on rent to travel, chip away at debt, or just get some breathing room before the next step.
