Protecting Your Income – The Forgotten Insurance

Writer: Nicole MarquesNicole Marques

You insure your home, your car, even your phone—so why not your income? Your pay cheque is the foundation of your financial security, covering everything from your mortgage and bills to savings and daily expenses. But what happens if an unexpected illness or injury suddenly prevents you from working?

The Reality Check

Imagine this: You’re unable to work for months—maybe even years—due to a serious illness or injury. Would your savings be enough to sustain you? Most people don’t realize how quickly expenses pile up when there’s no pay cheque coming in.


This is where income protection insurance becomes your financial safety net:

Disability Insurance – Provides a monthly income if you can’t work due to injury or illness, ensuring your essential expenses are covered.

Critical Illness Insurance – Pays out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. You can use this money however you need—medical bills, mortgage payments, or even taking time off to focus on recovery.


The Cost of Waiting to Protect Your Income

Many people assume they don’t need income protection because they’re young and healthy. But illness and accidents don’t wait for the “right time.” The earlier you secure coverage, the lower your premiums—and more importantly, you lock in protection while you’re still eligible.


Your income is your greatest asset—protecting it should be a top priority.

Let’s build a plan that ensures financial security, no matter what life throws your way.
