If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that life is unpredictable. Financial Gurus always recommend being prepared for an emergency, but that advice is often misunderstood.

Simple wisdom is making a comeback.

Everyone knows you need an emergency fund and experts recommend stashing away 3-6 months of expenses but there’s another simple piece of advice you might not have taken yet.

Your workplace life insurance coverage may not be enough.

If you have a family, experts often recommend 10x your annual salary. So if you make $50k a year, that means $500k in coverage. Many workplace life insurance policies have coverage limits far below that.

The industry has changed.

New fintech companies have disrupted the life insurance industry. Historically, many life insurance policies required trips to get blood drawn and days of waiting for results; not anymore.
