Budget for the future

During economic pressures it is not unusual for individuals and families to cut back on the amount of insurance cover they have. That's not surprising as most start thinking and living in the 'now' and have little time for financial planning for the future.

As the economy improves and you get a firmer grip on your household budget it is essential that you review what household insurances you have and ensure you have sufficient cover should the worst case scenario happen. If you have spare cash after completing the Household Budget Calculation, start saving and consider/review your insurance cover.

As food for thought, ensuring you have sufficient life insurance cover:

  • Stops you losing your house: It is estimated that 50% of the UK's 14.5 million mortgage holders don't have sufficient life insurance cover. Imagine the impact on your spouse if they lost you and your home.
  • Protects your children: The cost of raising a child is estimated at £222,458 (from birth, through university and ongoing support). Losing a parent is bad enough but losing your opportunity and chance in life as well can be devastating
  • Saves your family trying to cover the funeral bill: The average funeral cost in the UK is estimated at £7,662. That's a lot of cash to pull together, especially if the main income earner passes away.
  • Saves your partner drowning in debt: You know your household budget, how much are those credit cards and loans worth? How would your family pay them without you?
