Starting your career
Your first job is exciting on many levels. It’s an opportunity to kickstart your career, to gain valuable knowledge and experience and to start building a professional network. But most importantly, with your first pay cheque comes your first step towards financial freedom. And part of being able to stand on your own two feet financially, means thinking not only about the here and now, but the future too.
Future proof your income
From the moment you become financially independent, losing your ability to earn an income becomes your biggest financial risk. Which is why protecting it is critical. One of the most effective ways of doing so is with income protection, a long-term insurance product that pays you a monthly income if you become seriously ill or disabled, so you’re able to continue paying your bills and supporting your family.
Prepare for the unexpected
Severe illness often hits when you least expect it. And being diagnosed with cancer or another serious condition can place your future and finances in jeopardy if you don’t have the right measures in place. That’s where severe illness cover comes in, easing the financial burden on you and your family with a tax-free payout that can help with potential expenses like medical costs and adjustments to your lifestyle.
Get a head start on your retirement savings
The best way to save towards your retirement is to make it a habit. And the best way to do that is by saving from your very first pay cheque – before you find other ways to spend the money. By investing a portion of your salary every month, and staying committed to your savings plan, you’ll be well positioned to grow your money over time so that you can look forward to a comfortable, worry-free retirement with a steady income.
