How Long Can You Afford to Be Disabled?

This example client, Jane, has monthly expenses of $4,000. Let’s assume she became disabled in October:
In November, Jane would completely tap out the $2,000 from her checking account and an additional $2,000 from her savings.
• After December’s expenses were paid, Jane’s balance in her checking and savings accounts would be zero and she’d have to take $1,000 from her CDs.
• To pay January’s expenses, Jane would have to use the $4,000 remaining in her CDs to pay her monthly expenses AND come up with the funds to pay the penalties of early withdrawal from her CDs.
• In February, what would she do? She’d have no choice but to borrow money from her 401(k), which would have to be re-payed with interest, putting her further behind on a month-to-month basis.

What would your financial world will look like as a disability progresses???Without disability insurance, it's not a pretty picture! Jane's expenses of $4,000 per month quickly burn through her liquid cash and savings.

As you assets become progressively less liquid, the lack of cash flow becomes acute. Three months into Jane's disability, savings that she has worked long and hard for are wiped out, and now her only source of cash is her retirement fund. If Jane saves 10% of her income for 10 years, everything she saved is wiped out after just one year of disability, causing her to tap into this nest egg.
