Absolutely! When you contact a local independent agent for the first time, you can list your needs and goals. For example, you can apply for life insurance while setting up your long-term retirement strategy. Or you can talk about saving for your child’s college fund while learning about business strategies as a small business owner.

Determining the right amount of life insurance coverage depends on an individual's circumstances and financial goals. Consider your health, age, debt, and how much income your loved ones would need to maintain their current lifestyle if you were no longer around. Also, keep track of your current savings and other investments, as these will help you decide on a policy.

Unfortunately, tax planning does not fall under our list of financial services. We can, however, help with estate preservation. Your CFS agent can work alongside your tax and legal professionals in an effort to minimize taxes, expenses, and legal issues while maximizing the value of the estate left behind for beneficiaries.

Saving money with a limited budget is an achievable goal. Start by setting clear financial goals and creating a budget. Assess your income and expenses to identify how much money you can afford to save regularly. Although saving with a limited budget means you may not see substantial gains immediately. Stay patient and focus on long-term growth. Finally, learn about different options and strategies by contacting a CFS agent.
