Insurance

Disability insurance is a monthly payment that replaces a portion of your income if you can’t work because of an injury, illness or mental health issue. The duration of a disability can be either short- or long-term and usually provides 60% to 70% of your income so  you can maintain as much of your standard of living as possible until you can return to work.

Critical illness insurance provides a one-time, lump-sum payment that you can use any way you want if you encounter life-threatening illnesses such as heart attacks, strokes, or cancer.  Not everyone’s recovery costs are the same. Because these illnesses often incur greater-than-average medical costs, these policies pay out cash to help cover those overruns when traditional health insurance may fall short. Considering this is coupled with a typical leave of absence from your job, it could mean a rapid influx of expenses when income is at its lowest.
