IF YOU were to protect just one of your assets, which would you choose? Your house? Your car? Your greatest asset, and the one that needs protecting the most, is YOU. It is your ability to work and earn an income, for yourself and your family. If you were to die in a car accident tomorrow, what would happen to your family? How would your partner and children survive financially? Your partner may also be earning, but a huge portion of household income would have dried up overnight. What if you survived the car accident, but were left with a permanent disability that prevented you from doing your job? You’d still be together as a family, but without your income. And you’d have high medical costs to contend with. If you’re young and single, you may not need life cover, but you most certainly need disability cover. You would have to fund your own future as a disabled person. The important thing about life and disability cover is that it’s best to buy it when you’re young and healthy. The premiums are far lower than for someone who is old and unhealthy. You may see it as an unnecessary expense, but you’re worth it! The sooner, the cheaper!
