Happy end of July, {{contact.first_name}} ☕

Three things in this month's digest: a time-sensitive rollover window that closes July 31, an honest look at protecting your family's income, and a quick tool to get ahead of college costs before the school year. Grab your chai.

This month's big idea

The $19-a-month question

Here's the one most of us avoid: if something happened to you tomorrow, would your family keep the home and the life you built — financially? For most families, one income quietly covers everything. The good news: protecting it is cheaper than almost anyone expects. Term life insurance simply replaces your income if you're not here — often just a few dollars a day for hundreds of thousands in coverage. A quick myth to bust: coverage through work is usually only 1–2x salary and vanishes the day you change jobs or your visa changes.
