Could you use an extra $500? I’m affiliated with the LIFE Foundation, a nonprofit insurance education group that is sponsoring the “This Moment Made Possible by My Paycheck” Photo Contest during May, and the person who submits the best photo will win $500. Entering is simple: Find or snap a photo that captures a moment in your life that was made possible by your paycheck and add a few words describing it. It can be a simple moment, like spending time at home with your family or perhaps a shot of a great vacation you took.
But why all the attention on your paycheck? Well, many people don’t realize that just as they protect their cars and their homes with insurance, they need to be insuring another valuable asset—their paycheck. That’s where disability insurance comes in: Think of it as insurance for your paycheck. It ensures that if you are unable to work because of illness or injury, you will continue to receive an income, enabling you to make ends meet until you’re able to return to work.
To enter the “This Moment Made Possible by My Paycheck” Photo Contest, go to www.protectyourpaycheck.org. Entries must be submitted during May, which is Disability Insurance Awareness Month.
Here’s hoping that you win the contest! The chances of becoming disabled are much greater than you might think. to make sure your insurance needs are up to date.
