Startling Stats disability (and they are tweetable)

People are much more likely to ensure the things they buy with their paycheck that the check itself. New car? Insurance check. New house? Insurance check. New boat? Insurance check. But few people wonder what would happen if the wage that pays for the car and the house and the boat suddenly disappeared because you were dismissed from work because of a disabling illness or accident. This is where the disability insurance comes in. It provides income until you are able to return to work and to win again this salary.

May is awareness of disability insurance Month, so help spread the word about disability and the importance of disability insurance. Here are some statistics and information that are "tweetable" which means you can share them by clicking on the fact that you want to tweet and the tweet will be generated for you.
