Looking for income.

Are you currently in a situation where you need to find additional income so that you can continue to make everyday expenses such as house payments, utility bills, car payments, insurance, food, etc.?

Instead of guessing where the money is coming from, have a plan.

Do you have assets like a 401K, IRA, investment accounts? Money sitting in a savings or checking account?

Is your money working as efficiently as possible for you? Is it generating the income you need?

Do you have a family that you need to make sure it's taken care of? If something were to happen to you?

And conversely, does your spouse have the resources to make sure you are taken care of should something happen to them?

It's a fact that financial problems are a leading cause of stress and failed marriages, yet few people are willing to put in the time and effort to reduce such stress.

Health issues are hard enough to deal with without having to add in additional stress, such as wondering if regular bills can continue to be paid, as well as newer bills related to health care and treatment being added on top of the heap.

No matter where you are in the cancer treatment process, there are things that you can do to help reduce or even eliminate financial toxicity.

Please seek the help of a financial planner or advisor. They are able to sit down with you and help you put together a workable and doable plan based on your current financial picture.

Working with a financial advocate who knows and understands the medical side as well as the financial side can be invaluable to you and your family as you bend over in this new environment.

If you're currently working with a financial advisor, make sure they are aware of your current medical costs and what might be changing in the future.

They can also help to make changes to your current plan in anticipation of what's to come.
