Make The Grade With A Financial Plan

Graduate + Money Tree Don't let bad college spending habits ruin future opportunities

So your kid has finished high school, gotten into college, moved out, and started counting down the days until graduation. You may have urged them to apply for a credit card, or given them a copy of your own, in case of emergencies. You've co-signed their loans and their apartment lease, because we all know the typical 18 year-old doesn't have a lengthy credit history of their own to stand on. But what if the debt becomes out of control? Desperate economic times call for desperate measures, but you've got to buy your textbooks somehow, right?

 

Any financial planner will tell you it's important to seriously discuss good spending habits with your kids, especially during their college years when it's most important for them to build and maintain good credit. This article outlines the most important keys to obtaining a good credit score and how to get out of deep water if you find yourself struggling with a less-than-perfect debt ratio. Failing to heed such warning could leave you and/or your kid unable to buy a car, a house, or even rent an apartment.

Umbrella Insurance Policy An inexpensive Personal Umbrella Liability (PUL) policy could save your assets on a really, really rainy day

You've worked hard to buy your home and put aside funds for retirement. But even if you have an insurance policy for your home, car, boat, or recreational vehicles, your assets could still be at risk if faced with a high-dollar lawsuit. A Personal Umbrella Policy (PUL) is an affordable annual insurance policy that extends your liability insurance coverage for your home, auto, and/or watercraft. Even if you feel that you have nothing to lose, a sizeable judgment against you could lead to garnished wages or the liquidation of your assets to pay those outstanding debts.

 

Check out this short video on our Resources page that highlights the benefits of a simple PUL policy.

(Really, they're nice people.) Founders Ron, Laurie, and Greg hit the map in 2006 by designing the Wax Buddy - a simple but incredibly useful wax-removal tool made for surfers by surfers.
