Disability

Most of us depend on our income for our living. To earn that income, we have to be healthy.

But accidents happen, and people do get sick. That's when it's important to have a good disability income policy. 

What are your chances of becoming disabled for a period of more than 90 days before you reach the age of 65? And if your disability did last 90 days, what would the average length of your disability be? The following table shows your chances of being disabled more than 90 days, and the average duration of your disability if it does indeed exceed 90 days.

Income Replacement Sources

If you become disabled, where will your source of money come in order to maintain your household? Furthermore, how would you pay for the additional financial burden of a disability? Let's consider some sources.


Possible Sources of Money

The Problem

Savings

If you saved 5% of your income each year, 6 months of total disability would wipe out 10 years of savings.

Borrow

Who is going to lend money to someone that can't work?

Spouse's Income

Can one person be expected to fill the roles of spouse, parent, private nurse and employee all at the same time?

Liquidate Assets

Can you get a fair market price when you are forced to liquidate?
