Why Insurance Is Important

ARE YOU COVERED?

Although insurance might sound like a grudge purchase, it is in fact an investment for life. The reality is that life sometimes throws curveballs and you can never be prepared enough when it comes to death, disability and/or retrenchment cover.

PROTECT YOURSELF & YOUR LOVED ONE

" I DON’T NEED LIFE INSURANCE "

Every one of us needs some form of insurance . Establish your need for cover e.g. buying a new home, starting a family, a new job or re-looking your financial position.

" IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE "

Don’t overestimate the cost of insurance until you have requested some quotations. There are various products to suit your needs and pocket.

" I ALREADY HAVE COVER "

Make sure you regularly review your personal or employer related policies to ensure that they are up to date and relevant.

" MY LOVED ONES WILL BE OK "

If something happens, do you, your family or your dependants have the cover needed to provide support after a life changing event? The cost of living is expensive and the insurance cover may help pay for day-to-day expenses.

PROTECT YOUR ASSETS

" IT’S NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME "

Purchasing short-term insurance is a small price to pay rather than having to outlay your hard earned savings or incurring debt to pay a costly event e.g. your geyser bursting, a car accident or theft etc.

PROTECT YOUR FUTURE

" I HAVE A EMPLOYER PENSION SCHEME "

Being on your employer’s pension or provident scheme does not guarantee a secure retirement. Ensure that you are contributing enough towards your retirement.

" I KNOW I WILL BE FINE "

Do you have a proper retirement plan to help you reach your retirement goals.
