Lately I have been trying to get a lot of my finances in order. Now that I am recently divorced – and the mother of three young children, ages twelve and under – I have had to look at things from a new perspective. After all, I don’t have another earner bringing home a paycheck anymore (and while I do receive child support, things have still changed considerably). Additionally, I am giving thought to things that I didn’t really consider too much previously. For instance, prior to the divorce I was a stay-at-home mother; my ex-husband, who was obviously bringing home the money on which we lived, had a life insurance policy and a disability insurance policy in order to protect us should something have happened to him. These were not things that I thought that I needed for myself since I was at home and not working.

Now that I am back to working full time, I have recently purchased myself a life insurance policy and even a disability insurance policy. After all, what would happen to me now if I suddenly became sick or injured and was unable to return to work? Certainly I know that my kids would be okay because their father is still very much in their life and is a devoted dad, but I know that I have to depend on myself to take care of ME – something that is very new for me indeed.

In learning how to protect myself and take care of myself I have had to do a lot of learning in a very short period of time. Luckily, when it came to seeking out disability insurance plans that were appropriate for my current life circumstances, I was led through the process by a professional company that answered all my questions and was really helpful through my decision making process. Now I know that with disability insurance and life insurance in place, myself –and my family – are protected.
