📝 Would Your Family Know What to Do? Financial planning isn’t just about numbers. It’s also about making sure the people you love know where to find important information and who to turn to when they need it. Consider creating a family communication plan that includes: • Your will and estate planning documents • Trust information • Powers of attorney • Important account information • Current beneficiaries • Key financial and professional contacts These may not be everyday conversations, but having them can make a difficult time a little easier for the people you love. Sometimes the most thoughtful thing we can do is simply make sure our family knows the plan. ❤️ #TruePathPlanning #LegacyPlanning #EstatePlanning #FamilyPlanning #FinancialWellness See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures

It’s worth asking: If I couldn’t work for an extended period, would my current plan help cover the gap? Not sure?
