One HUGE Financial Resolution You Likely Missed For 2015

It’s a new year, which means like most parents, you’ve probably made a handful of resolutions to improve your life or set your family on a better course in 2015.

Perhaps you’re shooting for less TV time for the kids… or maybe a family-wide goal to eat healthier snacks.  In the area of finances, maybe you’ve resolved to get out of debt, take a fabulous vacation or use your money to benefit more charities making a difference in the local community or the world.

These are all great resolutions…but I can pretty much guarantee that there is still one important goal for 2015 that you missed…

…estate planning!

Did you know that setting your legal affairs in order is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your family, wishes and assets are protected if something unexpectedly happens to you and/or your spouse?
