First let’s talk about what disability insurance is and why you need it. During our working years the ability to earn an income is important and necessary for survival. But what happens if you lose your ability to work, even temporarily? The Social Security Administration estimates that one in four 20-year-olds will experience a disability for 90 days or more before they reach age 67 and during their working years. You are also three and a half times more likely to be injured and need disability coverage than you are to die and need life insurance. While these are sobering statistics, we can consider a disability insurance policy to protect our assets.

You might be familiar with this phrase if you have read Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I’m here to tell you that revolving savings accounts are pretty life-changing as well! A revolving savings account is the magic that keeps irregular expenses from derailing your budget. 
One of the main obstacles to budgeting that I hear from people is that they have expenses that don’t happen every month, that are larger in nature, and throw off their planning. For most people, we tend to live our financial lives month-to-month. Your rent or mortgage is due once a month, your car payment is due once a month, you pay for Netflix and piano lessons once a month, etc. You get the picture. But every month it seems like there are some expenses like a birthday, Christmas, annual insurance bill, college tuition, etc. that come creeping in. ​
