⚽️ Liam: 1. Five-a-side football: 0.
So… Liam rolled his ankle playing five-a-side this week. 🩼
Luckily, he’s insured up to the max (perks of the job 😉), and luckily for him, his day job involves considerably more laptop tapping and pencil pushing than physical labour. So while the swollen ankle might affect his golf handicap and make looking after his 7-month-pregnant wife slightly more challenging… he can still work, earn and keep paying the bills.
Which got us thinking… 👀 (cue cringe LinkedIn style post)
Income protection really is important.
And not just for the breadwinner.
Not just for people in physical jobs.
Not just for the self-employed.
For everyone who relies on their income to keep their household running. Because you don’t need to be completely unable to work for your finances to be affected. An accident, illness or injury could change what you’re able to do, and for how long.
Liam’s lucky that his ankle hasn’t stopped him doing his job. But what if it had?
That’s exactly why having the right protection in place matters.
And yes, we appreciate the irony of a mortgage & protection adviser demonstrating the importance of income protection… from a pair of crutches. 😂
🩼 Send Liam Brignull some sympathy in the comments…
