Could you afford to live without your income?

28 February 2025

It can be scary to think what could happen if you fell unwell and were not in a position to work.

Could you cover those ongoing bills without your wages such as mortgage repayments, childcare, household bills?  How far will your emergency fund or savings stretch?

Income Protection is invaluable.  It provides an alternative source of income should you be forced to take time off work.

Reasons to explore Income Protection:

• Self-employed or employed with an employer that offers limited sick benefits
• Have one household income which covers all household expenses
• Have dependents relying on your income
• Have minimal savings
