This is a great article. Talks about some of the most important ways you can protect you and your family. Health insurance is obvious, but equally important is providing life insurance for your family and income replacement if you are disabled. Most often company life insurance is cheaper than anything an insurance agent can provide until sometime in your 30s. Then the cost of your own life insurance policy level term insurance of 20 or more years can save you $10,000 in premiums. This is because company life insurance normally increases in costs every 5 years where as a level policy does not increase. Disability is the most the likely unexpected thing that can happen to people. Get all of the disability insurance that your company will provide. Then get your own policy to get your benefits to the highest level possible. It’s open enrollment season for many employers.

The COVID pandemic made everyone realize how fragile health and even life is. You can be healthy one day and in a hospital the next on a respirator. Plus, we’re seeing that the COVID virus has long term effects on a number of people in their 30s and 40s. Now, I know that not many people like to talk about insurance but it’s a cheap way to protect your lifestyle and your family. During this pandemic many people are realizing that they don’t have disability insurance to replace their income or long term care insurance to pay for lengthy COVID and other illnesses. Or even life insurance to provide for their families if COVID is fatal. We can do a quick check up in all 3 of those areas. Think of it sorta like your dental check up. If you got a problem, you want to treat it and not let it get worse. So if you would like a quick check up or to chat please call, email, text, or message us and we’ll help you out.
