There are a wide range of possibilities, and on one end of the spectrum there are those who really do not care too much about it. These individuals go through life spending as they see fit without any concern about what may or may not be left over to be passed on to their loved ones when that time arrives.

You must then formulate a framework to live by so that you are acting in an informed manner every step of the way in an effort to attain these long-term objectives.
