How disability insurance helps protect your financial health (Part II)
In part one of this two-part series, we discussed how disability and life insurance can be an important part of wellness. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at how ADA student members disability insurance can help protect your financial wellness in the face of a disabling illness or injury.
Disability and life insurance at no cost? It’s true.
To be completely honest, would any of us ever think about disability and life insurance if no one told us how important it is? I never thought about it until I heard a presentation at one of the ASDA conferences, and it really got me thinking. Learning about insurance is actually pretty interesting, especially disability and life insurance. While it’s something I hope none of us have to use, I’ve learned that disability and life insurance is one of the greatest assets we could have. The way I see it, getting this insurance is not only something I can do for myself but also for my family.
