Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss.

It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss.

In general usage, a financial plan is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's current pay and future financial state by using current known variables to predict future income, asset values and withdrawal plans.

This often includes a budget which organizes an individual's finances and sometimes includes a series of steps or specific goals for spending and saving in the future.

This plan allocates future income to various types of expenses, such as rent or utilities, and also reserves some income for short-term and long-term savings.

A financial plan is sometimes referred to as an investment plan, but in personal finance a financial plan can focus on other specific areas such as risk management, estates, college, or retirement.

Life insurance (or life assurance, especially in the Commonwealth of Nations), is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the benefit) in exchange for a premium, upon the death of an insured person (often the policy holder).

Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger payment.

The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.

Other expenses (such as funeral expenses) can also be included in the benefits.

To invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future.
