Personal Disability Income

Could a disabling illness or injury happen to you?

It is possible, but most of us want to believe that we're healthy and invincible. We Like to think we can work and earn an income for as long as we want. But the facts are that a serious illness or injury affects thousands of people's lives every day. Consider these facts:

  • One in five people will be disabled for one year or more before age 65.1
  • The chance of a long-term disability is--at the minimum--twice as great as death.2
  • Women between the ages of 35 and 65 are 40% more likely than men to become disabled for 90 or more days.3
  • Disability is the cause of nearly half of all home foreclosures.4

Mortgage Disability Income

What's your plan if disability strikes?

Empty your Savings?
One year of total disability could wipe out as much as 10 years of savings and investments. What Would be left for the future? For Retirement?

Live on your spouse's income?
Most family budgets are only balanced with both spouses' incomes. With the added financial strain that medical and rehabilitation costs for disability could bring, would your spouse's paycheck stretch to cover the mortgage and all your other expenses?

Borrow money?
If you could qualify for a bank loan, the additional debt might compound your problem--after all, predictions of when a disability might end are educated guesses. Friends or relatives might be able to help temporarily...but for how long?

Mortgage Disability Income Protection?
Absolutely--that is the right answer!!
