Before the big day, sit down with your partner and talk finances. Some of these to-dos have a time limit\u2014sometimes as short as two weeks after your wedding! Don\u2019t miss out on money-saving adjustments by waiting too long after the big day.<\/p>\n
Insurance policies often have limits as to when you can make changes\u2014typically 30 days, but sometimes as little as two weeks. Make sure you go over your options beforehand, so you know what changes to make. Some great questions to ask include:<\/p>\n
While you will probably be combining things like homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s insurance naturally, another issue to consider is auto insurance. Will it save you money to combine policies? Many places offer multi-car discounts.<\/p>\n
Life Insurance:<\/strong>\u00a0If you and your spouse do not currently have life insurance policies, now is a great time to get them\u2014especially if you have children! If you do have life insurance, make sure to update your beneficiaries.<\/p>\n No one wants to think about it, but in case of death of one or both partners, it is important to have a will set up. (Again, having children makes this vitally important!) Putting a will in place will make things much easier if the worst happens.
