Protecting Your Retirement Income

 
We know most people will make it to retirement without suffering a major illness but if you are one of the unlucky ones, what happens now?
 
Would you forego 1% of your annual rate of return to eliminate this risk?
 
Sure, you could use your savings or take out a loan to cover the unexpected costs, however, both options will have a significant impact on your retirements plans. If you need to access your registered funds, they are taxed in the year you use them. Accessing those funds prior to retirement is not part of your plan.
 
Pass on that risk to an insurance company. They will take care of the rest with an illness recovery benefit. This is a tax-free lump sum payment to cover any number of unforeseen expenses. No need to submit receipts or to justify the costs.
