Paul and Ann Smith are in their 20’s and have no children. Both are working full time.

Income:

Combined income of $100,000 a year.

Considerations:

They plan to have children in the future, but are thinking about 10 years down the road. They would like to fund part of their childrens’ higher education.
Paul would like to quit his job (he makes $35,000 of their income) to start his own consulting business.
They rent an apartment, and Ann has health insurance through work that can cover them both.
They like to drive new cars, so have vehicle loans of $40,000, at 2% interest (due to their very good credit).
Ann received an inheritance from her aunt when she was 19 years old of $100,000 which she promptly invested in a mutual fund earning 6% annually.
Ann plans to contribute 10% of her income to the 403B at her job.
Paul would like to open some type of when he leaves his job.

Edgar and Jasmine are 54 and 49 respectively. They are both employed and have two teenage children who plan to attend college.

Income:

Edgar makes $100,000 a year

Jasmine makes $127,000 a year

Considerations:

Each are interested in income replacement if they become disabled, or die.

Since their house will be paid off in 20 years, Jasmine feels she only needs to have coverage until that time.
Edgar would like to have enough coverage on both of them to cover a funeral if necessary.
They would like to be able to pay for their childrens’ higher education.
They also want to make sure they are not a burden to their children should they need nursing home care.
They have two car loans totalling $35,000, and plan to continue to every three years (so they will continue to have vehicle loans, requiring full coverage on their cars).
They also have $25,000 in credit card debt that they are working hard to pay off.
They have health coverage through work, and both have the option to participate in 401K plans which average an 8% return.
