Protecting Our Family’s Future: Let’s Talk About Life Insurance

Paid Testimonial: Thank you to Dayforward for sponsoring this blog post. As always, the text and opinions are 100% mine. Thank you for reading and supporting my blog!

If this past year has taught us anything, it was that life can change in an instant. The world as we know it can turn upside down within a matter of days. I don’t think anything could have prepared us for what was in store. 

This year has also taught us how precious and important our loved ones are. It has reminded us how we would give anything to keep them safe and healthy. Some families were lucky and were able to adapt their lives to the pandemic, and others were not.  It is a sobering reality that many had to face and many will continue to face until this is over.

The struggles we faced this past year have been miniscule in comparison to others. We conquered distance learning and juggling a baby while trying to keep my own business afloat. My husband began working from home 100% of the time and we’ve managed to stay out of his hair (mostly). Everyone stayed healthy. There have been lots of emotional ups and downs, but we’re working hard to work through it and come out stronger. Ultimately, we are incredibly thankful for what we have and for each other.

If you’re one of the lucky families like we have been, I hope a year like this was a wake up call to make sure you have a plan in place for your future.

Texas influencer Meg O. shares about a new type of life insurance from Dayforward. Learn how you can protect your family's future with income protection.

With my husband’s longtime experience in the insurance industry, this is a conversation we are comfortable having. We have almost all of our possessions insured – from our house to my wedding ring. We don’t shy away from preparing for the worst.

I realized that one thing we should revisit was our life insurance policies. We have them, but will the coverage truly help sustain our families if something were to happen to either of us? 

If we can talk about all the material possessions we can insure, we need to include the most important thing – protecting our family’s future.

Protecting Our Family’s Future

I know this isn’t exactly the most pleasant conversation, but we need to talk about life insurance. Have you thought much about your life insurance coverage? Is your or your partner’s policy provided by your employer enough?

Texas influencer Meg O. shares about a new type of life insurance from Dayforward. Learn how you can protect your family's future with income protection.

How about a few eye-opening statistics?

  • 40% of Americans don’t have life insurance (source: LIMRA 2019 Insurance Barometer Survey)
  • Only 7% of people who have life insurance have the right amount. (source: National Bureau of Economic Research, 1999)
  • 1 in 17 children will experience the death of a parent by age 18 (source: JAG Institute 2020)

Questions started swirling in my head after seeing these statistics and when I was introduced to the new life insurance brand called Dayforward. I haven’t thought much about our policies until I realized what I was missing out on. I really think this is so important to chat about and to explore what kinds of options you have.

What is Dayforward?

Dayforward is a completely new type of life insurance that protects your family by protecting your income until your children are grown up. As a mom of 3 young children, this is the perfect way to protect them if anything were to happen to me or my husband.

Texas influencer Meg O. shares about a new type of life insurance from Dayforward. Learn how you can protect your family's future with income protection.

Traditional life insurance is paid out in a lump sum, and it’s easy for that money to be mismanaged or spent within the first few years. Dayforward is a new type of life insurance that provides a steady stream of income until your children grow up.

How Does it Work?

If you pass away, Dayforward will continue to send your family your twice-a-month paychecks until your kids are grown up, like they depend on today, 

For example, if your twice-a-month paychecks were $2,000 right now, your family would continue to receive that, plus $10,000 for funeral expenses. If you’re self-employed or a freelancer like me, your policy will be based on the average amount you bring in per month. This brings so much peace of mind.

You can even customize your policy to last until when you believe your youngest child will be financially independent. You can choose from when they turn 18, 21, or even 26.

I love that Dayforward is very straightforward, easy to understand, and meets the needs of young families.

How Do You Get Coverage?

Traditional life insurance can take months to get. With Dayforward, you can sign up online and get coverage within minutes. They also have transparent pricing.

Adjusts to Your Life Changes

Not only do I like how straightforward Dayforward’s coverage is, but I love how you can make adjustments to your policy based on your own life changes. 

If you have another child or your income changes, your policy can change with you. Simple enough, right?

This Generation’s Life Insurance

The purpose of life insurance is to give your family financial security if you were to pass away. Dayforward makes that process easier and better than before. It’s life insurance made for this generation.

While we never want the unimaginable to be a reality, it’s so important to have the conversation about the plans for your family’s future.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been worki I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been working on restoring the after affects of my postpartum hair loss. I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!

Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing a Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing and hand sanitizing this past year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ That would be all of us. 😅 #DovePartner I know your hands are probably dry and angry and the rest of your body could use some moisture during the winter months. @krogerco has an amazing selection of personal care and beauty products that can help you be your best self this year. I’ve been loving the new @dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - it kills germs and actually feels moisturizing! And, of course, the Deep Moisture Body Wash is an old favorite of mine - great for the winter months or just for all the extra washing we’re having to do right now. Save time by adding Beauty and Personal Care products to your Kroger shopping cart, and your dry skin will thank you later. #UnileverPartner #UnileveratKroger #KrogerBestofBeauty
How we feel during yet another unprecedented event How we feel during yet another unprecedented event🤪 This Texas winter storm was wild, and completely heartbreaking to witness. It’s been a very hard week, and we are some of the lucky ones! Going without power for 3 days was not fun, but we’re very thankful we do not have any damage or burst pipes. 

So many people have quickly responded and been so generous. Neighbors helping each other, kindness from grocery stores and restaurants, and help from people out of state has really made me proud. We will get through this 💪🏻

I’m sharing a bunch of resources in my stories, and I’m saving it all to a “HELP TEXAS” highlight. Feel free to share it or reference it!

Why does nothing surprise me anymore? 😂 We clearly don’t know how to deal and a lot of people were without power today (us included). Had to post this pic of the kids before Logan decided he was over it. His first snow, and he was not a fan. 😂 Hope all of my Texas friends are staying warm!

I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum hair loss stinks! Even though I’m 1.5 years out from having a baby, I am still experiencing after effects. My hairline is still thin, and I’ve got a lot of baby hairs I’d like to grow faster. To help speed things along, I’m starting a “hair glow up” challenge with @bondiboost products. First product I want to mention is the Hair Growth Support Supplement. This product and their anti hair-loss support supplement are scientifically formulated to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. The Hair Growth Support Supplement contains awesome ingredients like zinc, silicon, biotin, and ascorbic acid to support the maintenance of healthy hair. Can’t wait to see what it’ll do for my baby hairs! [sponsored] #BondiBoost #BoostYourRoots
If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of the ways you like to keep your hair healthy? Here are some of the things I do:

▪️ Stretch my color sessions every 3-4 months. I know bleach and color services can weaken hair, so I like a lived-in rooted blonde that looks awesome as it grows out.
▪️ Air dry my hair after washing and use hot tools sparingly.
▪️ Use color-safe products at home.
▪️ Most recently, I've started incorporating the new @redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate line.

This new launch from Redken is exciting, as I am a big fan of the brand (I go to a Redken salon and find that their color is the best of all I've tried). The Acidic Bonding Concentrate range is specifically formulated with an acidic pH to defend against the negative effect of hair coloring, styling tools, and even water - to bring hair back into a healthy pH range. In trials, these products were shown to provide a 56% reduction of breakage, 11X smoother hair, 88% reduction of visual split ends, color fade protection, and ultimate conditioning. Say what? Sign me up! 

After the short amount of time I've used these products, I've felt that my hair feels stronger, smoother, and less brittle at the ends. I can't wait to see what prolonged use will do! #redkenpartner #redkenready #acidicbondingconcentrate
