Disability insurance is $30/month for you, a person whose job has a near zero risk of causing a disability and whose job can still be performed even with many forms of disabilities. It is dramatically more for people with riskier jobs.

$30/mo is the national average. Yes, if you're a trapeze artist it is probably going to be higher. But usually, so will your income.
