The children are the bright future to the whole world so let us put hand and help where we can help by providing with a good help that we can all support to make a good foundation to all children in need

Funding the special needs trust

The idea of having a second to die policy is good in theory but what I don't understand is why the average cost of the policy is so high. I would think that a second to die policy would be cheaper than a standard policy since 2 events need to occur before a benefit is paid. About $2K a year is not cheap when you are on a single income so one parent can support your special needs child.

Just dealing with medical, physical and educational needs is tough. In today's economic market, I need to ensure that our retirement savings can support 3 people instead of 2. At the moment, funding our daughter's special needs trust is pretty far down on the priority list.
