Teen pregnancy can cause problems for both mother and baby such as mental illness, poverty, physical complications, and school failure. It is important for pregnant teens to seek regular medical care to monitor the health of the baby and check for potential issues like birth defects. Teen parents also often experience strong emotions with which they may not know how to cope, such as depression, anger, or anxiety. Parents can help prevent teen pregnancy by openly discussing sex, birth control, pregnancy, and responsibilities with their children. Several local outreach programs provide support for teenage parents and their families.

The document discusses the relationship between money and happiness for older adults. It analyzes data from the Gallup database on variables like standard of living, health, donations, and finances among older populations in America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The results show mostly weak or very weak correlations between happiness and these variables in Asia and Africa, but stronger correlations in America and Europe. Possible reasons given are differences in priorities and standards of living across regions and age ranges sampled. The study concludes that happiness does correlate to some degree with how older adults spend their money on leisure, savings, donations, and health.
Getting married young often leads to financial struggles and lack of emotional maturity. Those who marry young typically have less job opportunities and face significant college debt that can strain the marriage. Additionally, most people do not reach emotional maturity until age 25 and young people may lack commitment in marriage due to not fully understanding the seriousness of it. Marrying young also prevents people from having important life experiences that help them develop individually. Statistics show that 60% of marriages between ages 20-25 often end in divorce due to unrealistic expectations not being fulfilled after the initial feelings wear off. While not all young marriages fail, it is best to be realistic and take time getting to know your partner fully before marrying.

While growing up in poverty or wealth may impact a child's development, it does not determine their success as an adult. Success can be defined in many ways and achieving personal goals is often more influential than economic status alone. Early childhood interventions and education can help children from lower incomes, but do not guarantee long-term impacts. Similarly, growing up wealthy does not guarantee financial success as an adult. Strong personal motivation and support systems can help individuals overcome economic disadvantages to achieve success.
This document discusses extending support for youth transitioning from foster care. It notes that 42% of young adults aged 20-29 live at home with parents, but youth leaving foster care at age 18 have no one for support.

The document advocates extending financial and other tangible support through age 21 and engaging stakeholders like foster youth groups to advocate for this change through hearings and involvement opportunities for people.
Peer pressure from friends, lack of parental guidance, glamorization of teen pregnancy in media, sexual abuse, and teenage drinking are some of the main causes of teenage pregnancy according to the document. Peer pressure can influence teens to have sex to appear cool without understanding the consequences, and some pregnant teens felt pressure to have sex. Absent parents provide limited guidance to teens, who may turn to friends for information about sex. Movies sometimes depict teen pregnancy as desirable and encourage reckless behavior. Sexual abuse and rape can directly result in teen pregnancy. Teen drinking lowers impulse control and contributes to unintended pregnancies.

In life, there are things we can control and others that we can't. If provisions are not made for the ones that are unexpected then our accumulated savings may have to be used to address those unforeseen expenses. The problem is that we may not have the amount we need at the time, and even if we did we may not have the time remaining to put it back
There are two sources of income: Active and Passive. In school we learnt about one of them: Active Income. The businessmen, entrepreneurs and those financially independent are masters at the Passive Income. Shouldn't we have money working for us too?

The sheet will be incorporated into their grief and loss tool kit.
Life insurance provides a death benefit to help support a person's family financially after their death. It can replace income and pay for funeral costs, living expenses, education costs, and other needs. Life insurance proceeds are generally not taxed by the government. Anyone who has people depending on them financially in some way may need life insurance, whether single, married, a homemaker, business owner, or retired. Taking time to consider what would happen financially to loved ones if someone died can help determine how much life insurance is needed. While the emotional loss cannot be replaced, life insurance aims to prevent additional financial hardship for surviving family members.
What factors should we consider before deciding to commute a pension plan to take the lump sum, instead of remaining as a member of the pension plan and getting a fixed income?
With a burgeoning old age population, increasing inflation and dwindling government resources the threat of retiring poor is more ominous than ever before. Because it's intangible and some distance away, few prepare well for it. Are you in that category? Would your golden years be truly golden?
Most persons when questioned about life insurance reply that it only benefits those left behind. The truth is that it can also benefit the policyholder more than an average savings plan. Unlike a savings plan, that needs time to grow, the life insurance benefit grows independent of time as it creates an immediate estate. How so?
Neil Armstrong once said:"There can be no great accomplishment without risks" Sometimes we have no choice in the risks that confront us but we do have choice in the actions we take in preparation for those that have the greatest likelihood of occurring. This may involve doing things we may have never done before.
Term insurance vs Non-Term insurance: Which is Better?Reginald Alleyne
Term Insurance has been likened to renting and non-Term insurance to purchasing a home. Which would you prefer to have? It all depends on your needs and circumstance. Let's explore the possibilities
If you were building your home wouldn't having a blueprint be vitally important to the project? Similarly, if we are planning financially wouldn't having a blueprint be prudent? The most important part of a building is its foundation, having a solid foundation for our financial planning is equally important.
Actuarial statistics indicate that disability has a greater likelihood of occurring than death. Many persons possess life insurance with nothing in place for disability or critical illness. Could we bear being a financial burden to our family for an extended period with nothing in place to offset the expenses incurred in taking care of us?
Business Continuity and Succession Planning for the Sole TraderReginald Alleyne
95% of sole traders, when asked what they would want for their business if the unexpected occurs, said they would like it to continue. More than 90% who expressed this desire, eventually had to either sell or liquidate their business. How can you prevent this eventuality and ensure the continuity of the business you worked so hard to build?
Business Continuity and Succession Planning for a PartnershipReginald Alleyne
If you are part of a Business Partnership how can you ensure that your business is able to continue if the unexpected occurs either to you or your Business associate? How can you continue providing for yourself and your loved ones if you die, become critically sick or disabled? If you are the surviving partner what arrangement can be pursued NOW to ensure that you retain ownership of the business and the decedent's heirs can be paid for their inherited share of the business?
If you are a Business Owner or Shareholder of a Corporation or Limited Liability Company how do you ensure Business continuity if the unexpected happens to you? Would the business survive your demise? How will you and/or your family cope financially without income from the business? Are there things you can put in place to cushion the impact of such a possibility?
Jimmy Dean is reputed to have said:"For true success ask yourself these questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?" Have we asked ourselves these questions as it pertains to managing risks? Here are some important questions that need to be considered in planning for the future. If there is an area of deficiency that is exposed, according to Jimmy Dean, "why not address it NOW?

We are in a race against four competitors, our obligation is to get to our customers before they do. Who are they? Death, Disability, Old Age and Critical Illness.
What is your opinion of insurance agents? Crooks or Partners? If your car needed fixing but you had a bad experience with a mechanic would that deter you from getting the car fixed? You would still need a mechanic. Why do banks and lending agencies trust insurance?
If you had a money making machine would you protect it? If it broke down would you like to be in a position to replace it?
If you were a tight rope walker would you want a small or big safety net if you fell?
How many gas tanks do you have at home? Two? Three? Why not one?

Do you know the five sources of retirement income (C.A.R.I.B.)?
A healthy 65 year old man has a life expectancy of 87, and a woman, 89. 38% of the men and 50% of the women will live to age 90. Retirees do not know how long their retirement will last, and so they face a delicate tradeoff between wanting to spend as much as possible without overdoing it and triggering old age poverty
