Why you should purchase disability insurance
Your greatest asset is your ability to earn income and your continued good health is the key to a long and successful working career.
What is your Number?
What is your cumulative total income you could expect to earn if you continue working to your age 65 – and are fortunate to earn 3.5% more each and every year?
The fact is, when you are disabled by an illness or injury, your earned income stops – but your bills don’t!
Consider these situations
- A person spends months recuperating from a car accident.
- A massage therapist breaks an arm while skiing and can’t work for eight weeks.
- An overworked physician must “take it easy” after a heart attack.
- Chemotherapy saps the energy of a busy store manager.
- A stroke affects a computer programmers ability to reason with numbers and concepts.
- An individual has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder following a traumatic event.
Now ask yourself – Where will the money come from if you became totally disabled for:
- 3 months?
- A year?
- 5 years?
