Deborah joins me today to discuss what insurance is and why you need it. She explains the difference between life insurance, critical illness insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance and when you might need them. She highlights which insurances you should consider when you start your career as well as when you are in your 30s, 40s and beyond and demystifies many of the misconceptions about insurance and purchasing insurance policies.
“Get your basic insurance coverages outside of your employer. Look at what you get from your employer as a bonus.” - Deborah Williams
