While we're on the topic of disability insurance, I saw an interesting statistic in this week's "Retirement Weekly" newsletter by MarketWatch (subscribe here). MarketWatch cites a study by Unum that reports that cancer is the #1 cause of their long-term disability claims. It doesn't matter how old you are or how risky (or safe) your job is. Cancer can strike anyone. My sister discovered that when she was 24. Don't leave a hole in your planning.
