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.

​Why pay for something you may not use? It’s a pretty good question to ask yourself in most instances when it comes to money management.

For those who either feel they can’t afford auto insurance or those who choose not to have insurance so that they can save a little money on a monthly basis, they end up paying out pretty big when accidents happen or even when they get pulled over.

​Let’s talk about insurance. It’s important. The problem is that there are A LOT of different types of insurance out there. Some of them you really need, and most likely don’t have or at least don’t have enough coverage, and some insurances you might have, but likely don’t even need. We often jump to retirement and investment planning before we make sure that we have adequate coverage. This is an unfortunate thing because all it takes is one accident or set-back to completely derail your financial life if you aren’t adequately insured. So, let’s talk about the 5 insurances that most everyone needs. I say most because maybe you don’t own a car so therefore, you don’t need car insurance, but most people own a car, so go with me on this.
