Episode #73 Guarantees and Results with Diane Rusk

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am so pleased to be speaking with the wonderful Diane Rusk. Diane is a Life & Health Insurance Expert and has been working in the finance and insurance industry for almost two decades. Her company, First Financial Services, specializes in retirement and estate planning. Diane has knowledge, compassion, and expertise in dealing with personal and business insurance needs. In her opinion, it’s imperative, we all understand and purchase life & health insurance for “Those we love,”… that’s why she does what she does.

In our conversation, Diane speaks about why “guarantees and results” are so important in the insurance industry. We learn a lot about what annuities are and how they can work for you as a part of your investment portfolio. And we spend some time discussing the different types of life insurance and how you might design a policy depending on who you might be wanting to support after you are gone.

  • “We tend to put things off that we don’t think are immediate needs, but we don’t know when our lives will change.” – Diane
  • “After two decades in this business, I see the need for everyone to have something in their portfolio with a guarantee.” -Diane
  • “[If you are an entrepreneur,] you can create a personal pension plan that is guaranteed for you for the rest of your life.” -Diane
  • “When we have expenses that are fixed expenses, we need to make sure we have that covered, and that’s what an annuity can do.” – Diane
  • “When you know your child is going to have needs that outlive you, your estate planning is no longer about the end of your life, it is about the end of your child’s life.” – Jen
  • “Long-term care insurance hasn’t been given the accolades it should get.” – Diane

Today I am very excited to have the lovely Jen Hemphill with me. We are recording this show on the morning after election day and naturally our conversation is drawn to political matters.

As an accredited financial counselor, Jen has lots of good ideas for us on how to make sure you are provided for, no matter what happens in our country.

Jen is the host of Her Money Matters podcast and I was her guest for Episode #61, where we spoke at length about the details of special needs finance. I was so honored to be a guest on her show and invite her back to Financial Fluency.
