Chubb Life put out their claim statistics for the year. There are always 2 things that grab me on this

- That 95% of all claims were paid out during the year
- The breakdown of why claims were paid in New Zealand.

It is always a little sobering to see these statistics come out, and as always gives you something to think about.

August is money month here in New Zealand, and this year sorted.org.nz is focusing on building a buffer through a series of webinars, resources and an app.

Click and follow for some useful resources to help you build that buffer.

When something unexpected hits, too many of us reach for a loan or credit card, often with high interest that makes a bad situation worse. There's a better way. Our guide shows how to build a fund that has your back when life doesn't go to plan.

Well done to AMP Wellington for their poignant Anzac week service today.

AMP has a proud history in New Zealand and a longstanding tradition of recognising those from the organisation who served their country.

Their Roll of Honour, recording staff who served in the First and Second World Wars, stands as a powerful reminder of duty, sacrifice, and service.

Today in Wellington, attendees heard the story of a young AMP clerk who, at just 18 years of age, enlisted with the Otago Mounted Rifles and later gave his life following the fighting of 3 August at Gallipoli.

Stories like his ensure that names on honour boards remain real people, remembered for courage and sacrifice.

AMP continue to do a wonderful job each year in recognising their fallen. It is a credit to the staff, the culture of remembrance within the company, and the ongoing support AMP gives to the New Zealand Remembrance Army.

They truly embody the New Zealand spirit of remembrance.

Lest we forget.
