Most wealth plans rest on a fragile “human machine” that generates income, while banks, CRA, utilities, and debts don’t pause if illness or disability strikes, forcing asset liquidation and derailing compounding. We contrast CI (tax-free lump sum for covered diagnoses) with DI (monthly income replacement, typically 60–80%, with tax treatment based on who pays premiums), note limits of EI/CPP/WCB and group plans, and warn against bank creditor insurance due to underwriting at claim and benefits paid to creditors. We frame CI/DI as defensive liquidity and “vault guards” that preserve sovereignty, options, and recovery focus.
