Can the right protection help you become more financially resilient?

Have you heard of the ‘protection gap’? You probably know someone who’s fallen into it.

Most of us know to get travel or pet insurance, or even just insure our mobile phone. But when it comes to really big life events, cover can easily get overlooked – causing a gap.

Far too many people aren’t properly protected against life-changing events, like losing their job or not being able to work because they’ve fallen ill. Which means that when these things do happen, they can have a much bigger impact than they need to.

Luckily, cover like income protection and critical illness can help people become more financially resilient. So, if you do have a financial shock, it doesn’t have to turn everything upside down. And it can be surprisingly simple and affordable.

If you’ve had a big milestone recently, or a change in your circumstances, it might be the right time to relook at your protection needs.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.

I am a financial planner from Lingfield on the Surrey/Sussex border. I am here to guide you and your family through the sometimes complex world of financial planning. I start with a simple premise. My job is to get your money working for you in the best and most tax efficient way for you to see your money achieving whatever financial goals you have set.

I have had a varied career, from working in financial services to running a commercial investigation business to owning my own Italian restaurant. These experiences help me really understand all sorts of different people and particularly their goals and motivations. I firmly believe that with financial planning we start with the end result we want and then work back. We set things up properly and outline the path that will get us there. We review, adapt and protect as we go along and make those goals happen.

When I am not working, I love to travel and have visited numerous countries around the world; everything from the wilds of Chilean Patagonia to the rainforests of Malaysia. I also enjoy all sport with a particular interest in horse racing. At home I like a decent glass of red wine and spending time with my family, friends and 2 rescue dogs, Patti from Serbia and Munch from Romania.
