Great advice Angela. I, as well as the girls, would have dental and
medical coverage. I would have to pay a small premium for my
medical, but not for the girls. I would refinance my mortgage tostretch it out a bit….when doing that I could take some money and
put it into and emergency account. I also own a duplex (I live on
one side) and they rent would cover the mortgage and most of thetaxes. That certainly doesn’t solve any problems if I or the kids
get sick. I would not get paid for time I take off. Would I be able
to collect TDI if it was something that would require alot of timeoff?
