- #3 You insure your home, your cars, but what about your income? The ability to work and earn an income may be your most valuable asset.
- #4 What would you if you became too sick or hurt to work? If you’re like most people, you would probably find it hard to maintain your current lifestyles.
- #5 If asked, most of us would consider our home or our savings our most valuable asset. Actually, our most valuable asset could be considered our ability to earn the income that provides the resources and security so important to our families. Did you know that 30% of those aged 30 to 65 will, during their work career, experience a disability that will last at least three months. One in seven of us will be disabled for five years or more. This statistic may strike you as high but there are reasons for the high incidence of disability.
