Financial Security for Life’s Critical Moments

Protect Your Income, Not Just Your Insurance

If your paycheck stopped tomorrow due to illness, injury, or a major health event, how long would your lifestyle, savings, or retirement plans stay on track? Income protection isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation of a real financial plan.

At O’Rourke Life & Retirement, we help you build a simple, tailored protection strategy using disability income insurance, accident benefits, critical illness coverage, and hospital recovery plans — so a health setback doesn’t become a financial crisis.

The Reality of Losing Your Income

Most people insure their property, cars, and valuables — but not the paycheck that pays for all of it. A serious illness or injury can disrupt your income far longer than your savings can withstand.

  • Your bills, mortgage, and daily expenses continue even if your income stops.
  • Medical bills often spike during recovery, adding pressure.
  • Using retirement funds early can derail long-term financial goals.

Income protection keeps money coming in if you’re unable to work — protecting your lifestyle, savings, and family.

We help you combine the right tools — not just one policy — to protect your paycheck and your future.
