So, my parents never had a talk with me about life planning and I’m learning some things just in time. Get long term care insurance and lock it in now at a low rate of 40-60$ a month. Don’t end up 70 sharing a room with 4 other people because social security isn’t enough.

Also, make sure you have income protection insurance and supplemental income protection insurance. Attorneys often need to take leaves for burnout or other health reasons and these policies can, if you qualify, cover your salary.

Your employer typically provides these as part of a “group plan.” Check with your employer if you signed up for these insurance products, and if not, sign up now.

If you are self-employed, I believe you can also purchase plans.
