WILL IT BE A DISASTROUS OUTCOME
WITHOUT COVER?
Why obtain personal insurance
In the vast world of insurance, covers are available for almost all aspects of our day to day and business life. The availability of substitutes for the cover needs is considered carefully. In other words, If the unforeseen were to happen, i.e. injury or illness leaving the individual out of work for an extended period, or worst death, would it equate to a disastrous outcome for you and your family.
When considering personal insurance, there is no substitute for most Australians. Without cover, the outcome for most would be devastating. The heavy reliance often on one family member to provide, means the average Australian household will run out of funds within the first month without an income, and worse financial dependents will face significant financial burden in the event of death.
With personal debt levels in Australia at an all-time high and amongst the highest globally, personal insurance is a critical decision that needs to be considered.
Unfortunately, we cannot obtain insurance when we need it, and as part of our financial journey, future unforeseen planning is essential. Insurance cover can be considered a fixed cost of your financial plan leaving nothing to chance.
