Do You Need Disability Insurance?
Think you don’t need disability coverage? Think again. We draft a will. Create an estate strategy. And purchase life insurance. But few of us consider disability insurance – the coverage that can help us maintain our income and quality of life while we are alive.
A fate worse than death? In financial terms, maybe. Statistics from the Social Security Administration show that a 25% of Americans in their 20s may become disabled before they reach normal retirement age. Consider this – if you are disabled and cannot work, your income stops, but your expenses may not. In fact, due to the cost of medical treatment, your
expenses may even increase.
