AMERICANS ARE FEELING FINANCIALLY VULNERABLE--AND IT LIKELY STARTS WITH THE ABSENCE OF A COMPREHENSIVE PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR FINANCES. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE LATEST RESULTS FROM "NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL'S" ANNUAL "PLANNING AND PROGRESS STUDY". A THIRD OF RESPONDENTS DON'T FEEL THAT THEY HAVE AN ACCURATE VIEW OF THEIR WHOLE FINANCIAL-PICTURE--INCLUDING CURRENT OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS FUTURE NEEDS. THIS MAY EXPLAIN WHY ONE-IN-FIVE SAY THAT THEY'RE "NOT AT ALL CONFIDENT" THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR FINANCIAL-GOALS. AND, WHILE MOST AMERICANS RECOGNIZE THAT HAVING A PLAN THAT BOTH GROWS AND PROTECTS THEIR ASSETS IS KEY TO FINANCIAL-SECURITY, FEW ARE AWARE THAT A FLEXIBLE FINANCIAL-SOLUTION--LIKE PERMANENT LIFE-INSURANCE--CAN HELP MEET A VARIETY OF NEEDS--FROM BUILDING A BUSINESS, AND FUNDING COLLEGE, TO SUPPLEMENTING RETIREMENT-INCOME.
