The question "When's the right time to get your financial house in order?" accompanied by a family scene.

The ad opens with the Northwestern Mutual logo on a dark blue background. It transitions to a kitchen scene where a father is getting ready for work, a pregnant mother is with her son at the table, and magnetic letters on the fridge spell out a message. The scene shifts to a couple walking towards a house with a 'For Sale' sign. A hand is shown inserting a key into the front door lock. The couple is then seen on a couch with a baby, and a close-up of the baby yawning. The ad concludes with a shot of a Northwestern Mutual branded tumbler and sunglasses on a counter, followed by end cards with the logo and website.
