How We Value a Life Is At Core of Financial Planning
Review: Worth (Netflix Film, 2020)
The film Worth explores how difficult it is to put a dollar value on a human life — and what that teaches us about planning for the people we love. Numbers and formulas help answer financial loss, but they don’t capture what a life means — the dreams, security, care, and future a person provides.
Effective financial planning isn’t just math. It’s about understanding:
- What your income supports today
- What your family would lose if that income stopped
- What future you are protecting — education, retirement, peace of mind
By listening and looking beyond spreadsheets, advisors turn numbers into meaningful protection.
Why This Matters
While no number can define your worth, practical tools — like an economic loss calculator — help clarify how much income replacement and financial support your family might need if your earning stops unexpectedly.
This clarity is a starting point for planning decisions tailored to your priorities and goals.
Next Step: Use this insight to protect your family’s financial future — beginning with a clear picture of what they’d need to stay financially whole if the unexpected happened.
