Protecting what matters
As we've established, insurance can help to protect you from almost any risk you face in life. Deciding what to protect with insurance is a matter of personal choice. It’s a question of reflecting on what's important, both to you personally and for the people you love.
Here's a reminder of the main points:
- You can use insurance to protect yourself, the things you love and the people you love.
- Your protection needs change, so be prepared to review what protection you have in place at various stages of your life.
- Consider making a will, and other steps you can take to protect a spouse or partner, children, or other loved ones.
- Getting to grips with some of the terms used in the insurance industry will help you to buy appropriate insurance products for your needs.
- Building emergency savings can help to protect you from unexpected costs.
- Money and mental health are linked, so remember that looking after yourself involves more than just your physical health.
- Identity theft and fraud is on the rise, so keep your personal details secure, and learn what to do if you become a victim of identity fraud.
