It may seem like just another added expense to pay each month, but Life and Disability Insurance is a necessity for physicians. We all have a bit of “It will never happen to me” syndrome, but this is a case where it’s definitely better to be safe than sorry.
As a physician, you probably carry a hefty student loan balance (unless you’ve paid it off, in that case, congratulations). You also probably make more money than your spouse. If an accident happens and you’re disabled, any debt you have won’t just disappear – even though your income may.
