Disability Insurance Awareness Month, May 2007

This is the first annual Disability Insurance Awareness Month. You will probably see a bunch of ads for disability insurance month. Finally someone has listened. We absolutely need to raise the awareness for the need for disability income insurance.

Check out http://life-line.org for more information on disability income awareness month.

Did you know nearly 48% of mortgage foreclosures are due to a disability? Only 4% are due to death. Also, only one house in about 1800 will ever burn down, and yet every homeowner I know has insurance in case of fire.

Another interesting statistic I came across today: There are about 170,000,000 life insurance policies in force in America today. But less than 6,000,000 indivudually-owned disability income policies. Knowing what you now know about mortgage foreclosures it's time to take a look at disability income.
