Dirty words: Insurance?

Have you ever had trouble getting to sleep at night worrying about money if you were to fall ill or have an injury? Don’t worry, this is a common fear for most people and financial issues are something which can cause an awful lot of stress and anxiety for the majority. Once you are able to pay your bills on time and have an income that will allow you to live a comfortable lifestyle which allows you to go out and treat yourself once in a while, then a lot of this stress and anxiety will subside, but it will never completely go away.

It is unfortunate but it is common for people of all ages to suddenly fall ill or suffer quite a serious injury, and this is true even for the healthiest of people. If this were to happen to you then all of a sudden the comfortable lifestyle that you had worked so hard for would soon be slipping through your fingers, but thankfully there are protective measures that can be taken to make sure that this is never something you will have to worry about.

Ordinarily if you were suddenly unable to work because of illness or injury then you would get sick pay from the Government, this however is around $200 or so a week which most would struggle to get by on. When you are sick or ill the last thing you want to have to worry about is financial issues, and all your focus should be on getting better.
