Disability
Insurance covers the risk that you are unable to work. If you can’t work, you
still have to live, and the way society is structured… it is a problem if you
aren’t a productive asset. Should you get disabled, depending on the product
you bought, the cover is paid out as a Lump Sum or an Income stream. This is
intended to replace your earning ability, and the adjustments to your lifestyle.
A useful analogy for Engine building. People don’t have to be productive
assets. You can replace a salary stream with sufficient Capital. You don’t have
to get disabled. You do have to build the Capital. The challenge is changing
the way you see money. As something to look after, rather than something to
spend. $1,000,000 is not a big pile of cash to be spent. It can be an income
stream. Put to work on your behalf, it *can* last for life *if* you spend less (on
average) than it makes (on average). 3.5% real return (after tax, inflation
etc.) would give you $35,000/year. Capital for life. For life.
Streams create Life
