PROTECT YOURSELF!
Do you remember the first time you lost something that was important to you? Say you were 5 and took your brand-new change purse or pencil case to school. At the end of the school day, it was nowhere to be found. You can probably still remember the feeling of loss that enveloped you when you realized that your prized possession was gone forever. Some losses can’t be prevented. But there are ways to prepare for others. Being able to handle loss when it happens is one reason to plan and save. Another way to protect yourself is to buy insurance. Some types of policies make more sense for a young adult to have than others. Not sure how they work? There are several types of policies, but they all work to protect you or your possessions. And what about protecting your identity? Identity theft can be worse than a car theft or a break-in at your house. There are several steps you can take to protect yourself from becoming an identity theft victim.
