When I was so absorbed making up my mind to leave employment to reach my dream of being a work-at-home-mum, I thought of mostly the financial aspects and business opportunities and naturally all the fears and insecurities that come with it. But there was something that I forgot to consider, or rather it didn’t really occur to me while I was making my decision.
It still didn’t occur to me until just this week that all the free insurance and medical benefits that I get from being employed were rather great perks to have. Not only were my personal medical bills taken care of, but that of my immediate family.
It’s a good thing I have an insurance policy all along so it’s not as if I’m left totally unprotected now that the company one ceases. But I do think it’s a good idea also for me to add on a policy, especially if I can get cheaper term life insurance from Wholesale Insurance companies.
So if you are in the midst of becoming a WAHM like me, don’t forget these little benefits that actually add up to count quite a bit when you are on your own. Not that I’m saying it should be something that will set you back from your decision to go for what you want, but just bear in mind and be conscious of it.
Whatever decision you make, it must be the right and good one
