One of the Pikes current concerns is what would happen to the family finances if one of them were to die or to get sick or hurt and be unable to work. A friend of Una's told them they should be looking into life insurance. With plans to take on a mortgage and the children being so young they want to make sure they are prepared should something happen to them. They both are currently in good health so they feel now is the time to look into life insurance.

The Pikes have exciting plans for the future. They would like to purchase their $1*\text{'}$ home in $1$ year. They want to be in control of their financial future therefore they would like to get out of debt as soon as possible so they only debt they have going forward is their home. They want to be able to take family vacations without putting the trip on their credit card and then stressing over paying the balance off. They also want to be able to save for their vehicles in the future so they don't have to take on debt. In addition they know how valuable their university education is for themselves and they want to be in a position to pay for their children's tuition for $4$ years of university.

The Pikes feel good about how they have managed their money to date. However they are not sure what they should be doing to make sure they can achieve their goals and they don't really know if what they have been doing is what they should be doing. They have come to you looking for help in creating a financial plan.
