It’s important to find a balance between super savings and the level of your insurance cover. This is because the more insurance premiums you pay, the less monies going into your retirement savings.
The type and amount of insurance cover that’s right for you depends on your personal, family and financial circumstances, as well as your income and lifestyle. It’s also important to consider that other factors such as your age and changes to your insurance or changes to your Occupation may cause your premiums to increase over time.
As your circumstances change, you may need more, or less, cover – that’s why a regular review is so important.
For example, an expanding family or a reduction in personal debt may differently influence your choice in the type and amount of cover you have. It’s important that you have the insurance cover that meets your needs at a cost that doesn’t unnecessarily diminish your retirement savings.
