Now that the weather is nice, people are getting outside and
thinking about vacation plans. For me,
it’s a great time of year as I see my kids and their friends play baseball and
other sports. And with the school year
coming to a close, ideas for summer vacation start to form.
What comes in to mind when you think about the word “vacation”? What do you see when you think “amusement
park”?
Imagine for a moment – you and your family are on vacation
at an amusement park. Kids are enjoying
the rides, and everyone has a big smile on their face. It’s a great time spent together with loved
ones and having fun.
Now instead of that picture, imagine that one of your family
members is rushed to the hospital with severe headaches and blindness. That fun and laughing you hear turns into
sadness and crying.
Well, last year, this happened to one local family as this
article describes.
On a personal note, I had met the wife, Erin, a few years
ago. Though I didn't know the family well,
I saw her periodically around town.
When this happened, the main source of income for this
family disappeared. The article cited a
6 – 12 month rehab period.
Could you survive this long without a paycheck?
Nobody likes to think about these things happening, but yet
they do happen.
Even those in a regular office job are not immune to losing
their paycheck due to prolonged injury.
Take this quiz and see what your chances are.
What are you doing to protect your paycheck and family?
