Just the Two of Us
You’re planning on being together for many years to come, and while you’re not planning on having any children to provide for, you do want to be sure that both of you are financially secure.
It’s great that you're thinking about your future, and while some things we don’t want to plan for, it’s better to hope for the best, and plan for the worst. Some of the things you’ve been discussing might include:
- If anything happens to one of us, how can we make it as stress free for the other person as possible? Dealing with grief will be hard enough, without having to worry about paying the bills.
- If one or both of us gets sick and can’t work, how long can we live off our savings before we run out of cash?
- Is there anyone we want to leave a legacy for – for example, nephews and nieces, to ensure that their future lives are made easier, because they are also our future.
