Protecting what's important

Every year we review the insurance for our cars, homes, even our pets, but for some reason we don’t pay the same attention to the insurance we have on ourselves. It doesn’t make any sense, particularly when you consider the greatest risk facing your family is your capacity to earn money. Minimising that risk starts with asking some difficult but important questions. If you die, get sick or disabled:

  • Will your family's standard of living suddenly diminish?
  • Will your loved ones be left with massive medical bills which are impossible to cover?
  • Will your income dry up overnight?

The only true way to counter this risk is through savings and insurance. For some people with substantial assets, insurance may not be necessary, but for most of us insurance is an essential backstop to the worst-case scenario.

Click below to hear from Matt Schlyder, Founding Director at FWO, on how to effectively minimise your risk, and how an appropriate level of insurance cover fits within your Financially Well Organised strategy.
