Five years ago when my wife and I were expecting our first child, I was quick to get term life insurance policies in place. It wasn&a;rsquo;t until last month, however, that I protected my human capital from disability.
I&a;rsquo;m not alone, either. Most people see life insurance as a no-brainer to protect against losing their income due to death, but few people consider protecting their human capital in the event they become sick or injured.
But I&a;rsquo;m actually far more likely to become disabled in my working career than I am to die &a;ndash; and so are you.
In fact, the &l;a href=&q;https://www.ssa.gov/oact/NOTES/ran6/an2017-6.pdf&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;Social Security Administration&l;/a&g;&a;nbsp;estimates that 91.2 percent of women and 85.6 percent of men will live to age 67. Meanwhile, the same report projects that a 20-year-old has a 26.8 percent chance of meeting being disabled for at least 12 months before reaching retirement at age 67.
