Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Mostly making sure I updated my beneficiaries everywhere, now that I’m divorced and my kids are legally adults. Insurance, retirement, investments, should just be allocated immediately with no probate and my kids will be covered.
My life insurance is through my employer but I guess it’s no longer necessary as soon as they get through college. When they were little, I supplemented with term life, but they’ll soon not be financially dependent on me anymore
However I haven’t been diligent with medical directives or my will.
I'd like to at least make sure the house is paid off so she doesn't need to worry about losing her home. I have my home's full value in retirement savings now, and the actual house is half paid off, so I don't think I need a huge supplement. She has a good job now as well with a pretty guaranteed future (medical field). Maybe a term policy to cover us until the house pay off date would be a good place to start looking.
