| There are many components to financial security, but income is the most important of all. Disability Insurance replaces income when faced with an accident or sickness. Insuring your income could be the most important thing you ever do. Your income is the foundation of your financial plan. It’s what makes everything else possible. Just as you protect yourself against unexpected property damage, medical expenses and loss of life, you should also protect yourself against loss of income due to disability. An affordable personal policy could provide you with a monthly benefit that is income tax free when you pay the premium. We will craft a program designed to meet your needs and budget through listening and understanding your concerns and goals. A variety of leading carriers will compete for your business assuring the most optimal solution is realized. Although disability insurance is arguably the most important protection one can own, the top 5 Reasons Disability Insurance is not purchased are: 5. Social Security will take care of me. Fact:Social Security initially denies about 65 percent of all disability claims. 4. I expect to stay healthy. Fact: Statistics show that 17% of individuals ages 21 to 64 have a disabling illness. 3. It costs too much. Fact: The average annual cost is typically one to three percent of what you earn. 2. I can always do it later. Fact: People usually don’t get healthier as they grow older, and coverage will cost more. 1. I can rely on my savings. Fact: Even if you save 10 percent of your salary, a one-year disability could eliminate many years of savings. The truth is that during the course of your career, you are three and a half times more likely to be injured and need disability coverage than you are to die prematurely and need life insurance. – Health Industry Association of America, 2000 |
