FAIR REPLICA, Queens Botanical Garden

Forgotten New York -

I have a history with model trains. In my youth our family set up at least two toy train layouts, on a foldout card table in my bedroom. A small town was created using materials purchased from Walt’s Hobby Shop in Bay Ridge (I got to be one of Walt’s regulars) located on 4th Avenue [...]

BOWERY BEAT GOES ON

Forgotten New York -

As early as 2005, I was chronicling the changing Bowery in Forgotten New York and was lamenting the imminent demise of McGurk’s Suicide Hall just north of East Houston Street. Bowery has only accelerated its rapid pace of change as the D’Amato Opera and CBGB have vanished since then. Word now comes of the endangerment [...]

Forgotten New York -

So, it was October 1975 and I’m age 18 and furiously pedaling down Rockaway Boulevard all the way out in Brookville in southeast Queens, quite a ways from home when you consider that I lived in Bay Ridge between 1957 and 1993.

What You Need to Know About Disability Income Insurance

When you think about disability, what comes to mind? For many people, it might be an image of getting injured at work or experiencing a catastrophic accident. However, did you know that musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and arthritis are the top cause of disabilities today? Other causes of disabilities include illnesses such as heart disease, central nervous system disorders and cancer¹.

 

Most people think a disabling injury or illness will never happen to them. But the fact is, one in four 20-year-olds will become disabled before they reach retirement age². Keep in mind that if you become too sick or hurt to work, you will still need to fulfill your financial commitments and provide for your loved ones. While Social Security Disability Insurance may help replace some of the income lost while disabled, it might only pay a fraction of your income. And unless the disability is one of the five percent that’s incurred at work, Worker’s Compensation won’t help². That’s why having disability income insurance is key.

 

While disability benefits won’t replace your entire income in the event you were to suffer a disability, it could help you cover basics such as rent, groceries and bills. Disability income insurance will allow you to feel less financial stress as you recover and get ready to go back to work.
