For those of you clicking through expecting things like “family”, “fun”, “travel”, I’m sorry to disappoint you. While those things are all great, I’m going to trust that you are an adult who can regulate your own life. Take some time to yourself. Don’t get addicted to workahol. That said, I think careers are great. If yours is well-chosen and developed, you’ll find you really like your work. You don’t mind going in. You feel like a part of the action, a driving force if you will. And you care about the results of your work. People who are in this category of job-satisfaction tend to let their jobs take up most or all of their attention – and they love every minute of it. The downside to this is you can let some pretty standard stuff slip through the cracks. These are things which you’ll want to have taken care of years down the line, when your career is slower or over.

1) Taking Advantage of Healthcare Benefits. Company health policies are often various and complicated. If you’re the sort of person who never really gets sick or goes to the doctor, it can be easy to just let the healthcare thing….happen. But this isn’t the way to do it. If you have an emergency, you want your healthcare plan to be there for you to keep you falling on your face, personally and financially. So sit down with your company’s human resources department, even for just one hour, and really dig into the meat of their plan offerings. When you’re done, you’ll be sure that the plan you have is the one you need. Bonus points if you organize life insurance at this time in your life (whenever that time might be). InsureChance Inc is a great way to find the most competitive rates and provisions on the market, without having to do so much as a health screening. I know you don’t have time for that. So why not make it easy on yourself to get the best coverage available?
2) Taking Advantage of Free Money. That’s what your employer-matched 401(k) is. Every time you deposit $100, so does your employer, until you meet the annual maximum. If you don’t max out your 401(k) you are leaving money on the table. And you’d be shocked to know how many people don’t really use their 401(k). Even really smart people miss out on this. And they do so for a lot of reasons. Maybe all your needs are more than covered at the moment. But the fact is, one day you probably won’t be raking it in quite like you are today. So you’ll want to have squirreled some funds away for a rainy day.
3) Take Advantage of Wellness Programming. If you’ve never been fit, you don’t have any idea how much of a difference it will make in your health and happiness. Today’s businesses are making it easier than ever to get well, sometimes even on the clock. So take advantage of these plans. There’s usually nifty rewards associated here.
