How much money will you and your family need when
you are disabled? and Where
will that money come from?

Where Will the Money to Live on Come from if You're
Disabled?
Let's consider the

SOURCES OF
MONEY
THE PROBLEM
Savings
If you saved 5% of your income each - six
months of total disability could wipe out
ten years of savings.
Borrow
You might have difficulty securing a loan
when you're disabled. And where will the
money come from to repay the loan?
Spouse works
Can one person be 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?
Disability income plan
If you qualify.
There's Only One Logical Answer: An Adequate
amount of Disability Income Protection, if You Can
Qualify.
