Which Is More Precious?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s the middle of the night and you’re jolted awake by extreme pain in your chest. You feel like life is being crushed out of you and immediately realise you’re having a heart attack. Your partner frantically calls 000 and as you lay clutching your chest waiting for the ambulance to arrive all you can think about is how your family will be supported if you die.

The pain intensifies.

Hopefully, this will never happen to you, but what if it did? Take a moment to think about how your family’s living expenses would be met if your income stopped tomorrow.

The average Australian household spends up to one-third of its gross income on mortgage repayments. Most of us would rely on our regular income continuing indefinitely in order to meet such an expense. And at this point, we haven’t even put food on the table.

Income protection (or “salary continuance”) insurance usually provides up to 75% of your salary or business income in the event that you cannot work due to illness or injury. Of course, you might have sick leave, other compensation arrangements, or perhaps a cash reserve to rely on for a while, but what will happen when these run out?

Transfer the risk

Just like any other insurance, protecting your income is about transferring risk to someone else. By paying a monthly premium, you have the security of knowing that should anything happen – your car is stolen, your home damaged by fire, or you suffer a serious illness or accident – your financial loss will be minimised.

Ask yourself…

If you have your car fully insured but don’t have adequate (or any) personal risk cover, ask yourself this question – why is my car more precious than my life and health?

If your answer puts this into better perspective, do something about it now. Once you have appropriate insurance in place, you can get on with enjoying life, and if you do get sick or badly injured, money will be one less thing for you and your family to worry about.

We can help you work out what covers are appropriate for you and your family so come speak with us today.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row h2=”Talk to Us” use_custom_fonts_h2=”” h2_font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left” h2_use_theme_fonts=”” h2_google_fonts=”font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” h2_css_animation=”” h4=”” use_custom_fonts_h4=”” h4_font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” h4_use_theme_fonts=”” h4_google_fonts=”font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” h4_css_animation=”” txt_align=”left” shape=”rounded” style=”custom” color=”classic” el_width=”” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”GET IN TOUCH” btn_style=”flat” btn_gradient_color_1=”turquoise” btn_gradient_color_2=”blue” btn_gradient_custom_color_1=”#dd3333″ btn_gradient_custom_color_2=”#eeee22″ btn_gradient_text_color=”#ffffff” btn_custom_background=”#ededed” btn_custom_text=”#666″ btn_outline_custom_color=”#666″ btn_outline_custom_hover_background=”#666″ btn_outline_custom_hover_text=”#fff” btn_shape=”rounded” btn_color=”black” btn_size=”md” btn_align=”inline” btn_button_block=”” btn_add_icon=”” btn_i_align=”left” btn_i_type=”fontawesome” btn_i_icon_the7=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” btn_i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-adjust” btn_i_icon_openiconic=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” btn_i_icon_typicons=”typcn typcn-adjust-brightness” btn_i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-note” btn_i_icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-heart” btn_i_icon_monosocial=”vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx” btn_i_icon_material=”vc-material vc-material-cake” btn_i_icon_pixelicons=”vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert” btn_css_animation=”” btn_custom_onclick=”” btn_smooth_scroll=”” add_icon=”” i_on_border=”” i_type=”fontawesome” i_icon_the7=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-adjust” i_icon_openiconic=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” i_icon_typicons=”typcn typcn-adjust-brightness” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-note” i_icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-heart” i_icon_monosocial=”vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx” i_icon_material=”vc-material vc-material-cake” i_color=”blue” i_background_style=”” i_background_color=”grey” i_size=”md” i_css_animation=”” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwealthconnexion.com.au%2Fcontact-us%2F|title:Get%20in%20Touch|target:%20_blank|” custom_background=”#ad9156″ custom_text=”#2a2a2a” h2_link=”” h2_el_id=”” h2_el_class=”” h4_link=”” h4_el_id=”” h4_el_class=”” btn_el_id=”” btn_el_class=”” btn_custom_onclick_code=”” i_custom_color=”” i_custom_background_color=”” i_link=”” i_el_id=”” i_el_class=””][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”Talk to Us” style=”custom” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”GET IN TOUCH” btn_style=”flat” btn_color=”black” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwealthconnexion.com.au%2Fcontact-us%2F|title:Get%20in%20Touch|target:%20_blank|” custom_background=”#ad9156″ custom_text=”#2a2a2a”]
