Task 2: Savings, Investments, and Risk Management for a Middle-Aged Professional Talk to a 40-year-old business professional with a family that includes a spouse and children.
This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings,
investments and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial
planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.

The financial planning has roughly the same structure. Even in their later stages of life, they need to prepare and pre-save for any major risks that may occur. Having a spouse and children may increase this risk as well. It’s important to set aside a little future college money for their kids, maybe an allowance, ect. Their savings when it comes to risk management should also be increased. Having to not only prepare for accidents with themselves, they now also have to prepare for any accidents including their children and spouse. Saving money for assets is also important, going in debt would put the whole family in danger so making sure house/apartment payments, car payments, taxes, ect., is needed.
