Financial Planning Guidelines for Salaried Individuals


Protect Your Family Against Loss of Income

If you are the main wage earner in your family, what would happen if one day the income is clogged. This can happen due to a job loss, or an accident due to which you have to stop working for a while and during that time you will incur medical expenses, or an ill-fated event in which you pass away. Your family has to be protected from the financial repercussions of any of these events.

Job loss can never be avoided. But what you can do is continuously upgrade your skills. The more qualified and also the more experienced you are, the easier it will be for you to take your pick of the job offers you will receive.

On the other hand you can have an insurance against the other factors. If you suffer an accident, you can protect yourself against total loss of income if you have a Personal Accident policy. A Personal Accident policy is one which provides you with weekly income in case of an accidental injury resulting in total disablement or death. Different policies offer different compensation amounts and each policy should be read cautiously before any one is selected. This, in conjunction with enough health insurance, will help foot most of the medical bills during your period of recovery. Thus you won't totally lose your income, and also you won't have to spend too much on medical treatment, as you will be insured at both points.
