DISABILITY - What you don't know CAN hurt you.
Below are some stats from our American counterparts. But they are fully relevant to us here in Canada. Especially WOMEN:
- While more than half of men have done some research into how much disability insurance they need, only about 4 in 10 women have researched the issue.
- 52 percent of men have discussed the possibility and implications of a disability with a financial advisor, compared with 37 percent of women.
- Women are less likely than men to feel confident about job security (28 percent vs. 39 percent), covering basic expenses (25 percent vs. 25 percent), and being able to afford medical care (17 percent vs. 25 percent), if they were to become disabled.
Protect your income ladies! :)
