There’s the man who’s always insisted of taking care of all the family business himself - but who seems to think his wife will automatically know how to handle what money he leaves her.
There’s the man who’s intelligent enough in general - but who can’t or won’t realize that he’s going to die eventually and his family will be left to get along without his income.
There’s the man who thinks he owns his home and can leave it to his family - but who fails to remember it’s mortgaged to the hilt and he isn’t leaving enough money for his widow to pay off the mortgage.
There’s the man who has only to look about him to see old men and women struggling to make ends meet - but who doesn’t see the need of planning for old-age income.
There’s the man who sinks all his capital into a close corporation or partnership - but who never gets around to insisting on a plan for buying out the heirs if one of the owners died.
There’s the man who’s convinced he’s doing everything in the world for his family - but who is so intent on buying things for them today that he neglects to provide money for them in the future.
