He gave us some financial tips that can help us during this pandemic.
1. Sit down and take inventory. We have to take a pause to find out what are essential needs are?
2. If we feel that we are unable to pay some of our debt, we then need to reach out to creditors. It is better to call because most creditors have programs but, they will not reach out to you to implement them.
3. If you have a 401k or something similar, you can take out up to 100,000 without any penalties. You will need to take out federal and state because that will be considered income
We then discussed these important five key areas.
1. Savings
2. Have all your insurances
3. Investments
4. Put money away for retirement
5. Estate plan
You can learn more about these 5 key points and so much more now.
