Have you ever sat down and thought about the importance of being able to earn an income? For most of us, isn’t it true that it is the ability to earn an income that provides for us?
I encourage you to watch this video which illustrates how important our income is and what we can do to help ensure that our income will still be there if life throws us an unexpected curveball.
I am a firm believer that you should insure those things that you can not replace. We have all heard the saying that money does not grow on trees. We all work extremely hard to make a decent living and you owe it to yourself to at least consider protecting your most valuable asset – the ability to earn an income.
Maybe you have LTD as a part of your group benefits – but has your current insurance advisor actually helped you understand how much it will actually provide you at time of claim? Do you know if it’s taxable or tax-free? What happens if you leave your employer?
Sure, some of us may also have WSIB, EI and CPP. Has your advisor helped you understand how limited these plans are when it comes to their disability benefits?
Maybe you are self-employed with no group benefits or government benefits. Has your advisor helped you understand how real the risk of disability is and how a disability could be devastating to your business?
Not all insurance brokers specialize or even discuss income protection with their clients. Maybe I will write a future blog on why this is, but for now – I strongly encourage you to at least talk to your advisor about how important a proper disability insurance plan really is.
