Dave Says
(Insurance above and
beyond?)
Dear Dave,
When it comes to buy
ing life insurance, should
the coverage amount
be based
solely on
current
earnings? I
have good
reason to
believe my
income is
going to
increase
significant
ly soon.
Wesley
Dear
Weslev,
The"
purpose of
life insurance is to take
care of your family if
something unexpected
happens to you. You
don’t want to buy too
much, but you should
have enough to ensure
that they’re well taken
care of when you’re not
here any longer.
I usually recom
mend people have 10
to 12 times their an
nual income in a good,
level term life insurance
policy. However, if you
have a solid reason to
believe your income will
be jumping significantly
soon, there’s nothing
wrong with basing your
coverage amount on that
figure—if you can afford
it, of course.
Understand that when
I say, “solid reason,”
I’m not talking about
a hopeful attitude. I’m
talking about something
along the lines of finish
ing a medical residency,
then making the jump
to a six-figure income.
That’s the kind of logi
cal thinking and plan
ning I’m working with
here. In that scenario,
or something similar, a
huge jump
in income is
virtually as
sured.
Great ques
tion, Wesley!
—Dave
Dave Ramsey
(Term life
insurance,
too?)
Dear Dave,
My husband
and I are
wondering if
we need term
life insurance
policies. We both have
accidental death and dis
memberment coverage
provided free of charge
through our employers.
Do we need additional
coverage?
Rebecca
Dear Rebecca,
Yes, you both need to
find good level term life
insurance immediately!
Accidental death and
dismemberment policies
are nothing but gim
micks. You need to make
sure your family is taken
care of in the very best
way possible, no matter
how you die.
You should always
have life insurance
coverage that’s separate
from anything an em
ployer may offer. Think
about it. You don’t want
to suddenly lose cover
age if you change jobs,

Learning To Deal With That Empty Nest
Special to the Ledger their children depart disorder or diagnosis, it hovering and trying to
from the American
Counseling Association
Is that young adult
in your home packing
suitcases and heading
off for their first year
of college? Or maybe
there’s that bedroom you
walk by sadly every day
remembering how lovely
the wedding was, but
how empty that room is
now.
From college, to mar
riages, to a new out-of-
town job, there are all
kinds of reasons for why
a child is no longer shar
ing that home with Mom
and Dad. Whatever the
cause, the emotions that
parents experience when
are often ones of sad
ness, loneliness and even
depression.
The common term
for this occurrence is
“empty nest” syndrome.
It’s based on the bird
maturing and leaving the
nest. While we all want
our children to grow up
and live independent
lives (no, Junior still
living in the basement
when he’s 37 is usu
ally not anyone’s goal),
it still can be difficult
when the children are
gone and the house sud
denly seems much more
empty.
While empty nest syn

is a transitional period
in life that highlights
loneliness and loss.
Realizing that our son
or daughter is now
independent enough to
be out there facing the
world on his or her own
can be bittersweet and
emotionally challenging.
We are proud that we
have helped them grow
and mature to be able to
stand on their own two
feet, but we’re also sad
to see them gone and to
realize that most of our
hands-on parenting is no
longer needed.
There are ways,
however, to reduce
the sadness and stress
that might come with a
child’s moving out. In
today’s age of instant
communication, simply
staying in touch is easy
and can ease the sense
of being left behind. The
goal, of course, is not
to become a “helicop
ter parent,” constantly
be involved in the child’s
every decision even
though he or she may
now be thousands of
miles away.
Instead, try simply
staying in touch, maybe
with a weekly text or
email or phone call. It
can also help to talk
with friends who have
also had children leave
the home.
For some people, emp
ty nest syndrome can be
a real problem, leading
to severe depression. In
such cases, professional
help can be valuable.
Consider talking with a
professional counselor
who will be able to help
you manage these dif
ficult emotions.
