Is disability insurance worth the investment?

I have the option of signing up for long-term disability insurance through my place of employment. When I was young and single, I really never considered insurance much. However, now that this once wild stallion has been domesticated into family life, it seems that there are other concerns that need to be met, such as ensuring continued support for my family in the event that something should happen.

I still think insurance is a scam, but apparently a necessary evil these days.

Yes, it is priority in financial planning to get disability insurance and make sure that the benefits are enough to support you and your family in case of disability. Check with financial planner and he well make you good plan.

insurance is always a gamble. If you are pron to getting your self hurt , It would most likely be a good investment..
Hi, I think you should definately take it. If you were out of work and you fell and broke a leg for example. YOu would be compensated for loss of work and the doctors bills would be taken care off. I had it for 7 years and never used it. But...you never know. anyhow good luck in your decision sue:)
Ask someone who is disabled!! Your family will pay if you dont take the necessary steps.

You try and think of what type of world it would be without insurance, before you call it evil and a scam!
Just ask yourself where the money would come from if .......

I had a terrible car accident
My house burned down
I get cancer
I have a back injury and can't work
I die

I guess you are right.... Insurance is a scam.

CTU, you are 5 times more likely to need disability benefits than death benefits. Even if you have a life policy, the insurance company may NOT pay out an accelerated death benefit to help with the a loss of income. Consider someone in an accident that becomes disabled (can no longer work due to head injury) and still has a long life expectancy. Would a term policy pay?

A complete financial plan needs to address both death and disability. Anything less is just rolling the dice.
Yes.
The vast majority that have financial setbacks and do not succeed financially are a result of some catastrophe or setback.

Most of these issues could have been (and should have been) insured.

Just factor it in as the "cost of doing business." Buy it, even if it's only a small or partial policy.
