🏠 Don't think about everything you own.
Just pick ONE room.
Let's say the lounge room.
Sofa. TV. Laptop. Furniture. Rug. Lamps. Artwork. Books. Maybe gaming equipment. All those little things you've collected over the years.
Now ask yourself:
💭 What would it actually cost to replace all of it today?
Moneysmart recommends listing belongings based on what they would cost to replace at today's prices and keeping useful records such as receipts, serial numbers and photos.
And that's just one room.
We tend to think about our belongings one item at a time. Insurance asks us to think about what happens when a lot of those items need replacing at once.
Different question, isn't it? 😳
