This has been an unprecedented year — one that has greatly impacted people’s well-being, both personally and financially. Like everyone else, you thought it was going to be a different year than how it turned out. As the calendar flips to the new year (thankfully!), here are some things to check off your to-do list before saying good riddance to 2020

Choosing a beneficiary for your life insurance policy is a decision you should consider carefully. This is important because beneficiaries trump who’s named in a will.1
