Thrivent Social Media Privacy Policy, Guidelines, Disclosures & Disclaimers

The Talk No One Wants to Have (But Should)” 💬 “We’ve been meaning to talk about this…” Most couples in their 30s and 40s are busy juggling careers, kids, and mortgages — and life insurance or financial planning slips to the bottom of the list. But here are tips to ponder: 🛑 Waiting doesn’t make life more predictable. ✅ The earlier you plan, the more options you have. I work with couples to answer questions like: 💡 If something happened to one of us, would the other be financially, okay? 💡 Are we using the right kind of life insurance — or paying too much for the wrong one? 💡 Are we investing and saving smart enough to retire without stress? Most couples walk away from our first 30-minute meeting with financial clarity — and a simple plan. Disclosures: thrivent.com/social
