Dozens of other scenarios spring to mind. And once you have a family and have grown accustomed to the good life, all those things will be pulled right out from under you all if you don’t have disability insurance.
Drs Choices doesn’t offer cookie-cutter plans. We custom tailor them to your needs. Buy now and you’ll be able to protect your income down the road.

It will also make your debts mount and leave you destitute.
