Are You protected?
















I was in the field recently as SSE for a small exploration program. Our morning toolbox talk and risk assessment served as a reminder of just how many hazards we face when working in the resources industry.  It really can be dangerous at times. Of course, we put systems and controls in place to mitigate these risks, but the reality is, some risk still remains.
Protect your most important asset – your income.  
Your ability to earn an income is your most important asset because your lifestyle depends on it. However, if you had to stop work tomorrow because of an accident or illness, would you be able to continue to pay your bills and afford the lifestyle you currently enjoy?
What are the chances? More than 60% of Australians will be disabled for more than one month during their working life and more than 25% will be disabled for more than 3 months.
 Income Protection cover available through Hindsight Wealth.
Income Protection cover pays up to 75% of your income to help you and your family meet the cost of living if you are injured or ill. Meaning you can focus on your recovery instead of the burden of finances.
There are other types of cover to consider too, such as Criticall Illness cover and Total & Permanent Disability. All are designed to help you financially if you can’t work due to illness or injury.

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives.  It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done?  On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances.  And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another.  It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when thing...
Before you get excited (or not), I don't offer Pet Insurance, however I have received many questions about it.  So I thought I would offer some thoughts to consider for your independent pet insurance research. Australians are a nation of animal lovers.  According to the Australian Companion Animal Council, we have one of the highest incidences of pet - ownership in the world! Dogs and cats are our favourites; around 36% of Australian households own a dog, and 23% own a cat.  We're familiar with the companionship pets bring, and the social interaction they foster, but there are other benefits too: Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol; Increased physical activity; Strengthened immune system and reduced incidence of allergies and Children learn responsibility, empathy and respect. When considering a pet, you expect costs like food, bedding, the annual vet visit and so forth, but there are other costs you may not have thought about. Let's start at t...

There is no better time than right now to review your super!

So by now we all know that Australian and global investment markets have fallen significantly, it’s on the news, in the papers and I’ve been publishing recent posts about it on LinkedIn. What’s causing it?   Truth is, it doesn’t really matter.  Oil prices are down, there’s talk of China slowing, commodity prices are down and so forth.  Historically there is always something occurring on the world stage that can cause negativity in markets.  Investors start to worry, they sell their investments at low prices, lock in losses only to have someone come along, buy them up and enjoy the gains as things recover. Warren Buffet, the world’s most famous stock market investor famously said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient”. And we can see this today.  As I write this, global stock markets suffered a large decline over night, with the expectation being that the Australian market would follow this morni...
