When people think about insurance advice, they usually expect the conversation to start with one question: “How much cover do I need?”

But there’s another question that matters just as much:

How much does your life actually cost to run each month?

Mortgage/Rent. Groceries. Power. Rates. Petrol. School costs. Subscriptions. All those regular expenses that quietly disappear from the bank account.

Because if illness or injury stops you working, your household expenses don’t stop with you.

Understanding what genuinely goes out each month helps us work out an appropriate level of cover, rather than simply choosing the biggest number you can afford.

If it’s been a while since you reviewed your cover, or you’ve never really worked out what your household needs each month, it might be worth having a chat.

We get it, life is busy.
Putting time aside to look after your health is hard at times, but it's so important for your overall wellbeing and your ability to contribute to your family.
If you couldn't work due to illness or injury, how long would your income last?

In New Zealand, some cancer drugs are funded by the Government, and others are not.
A comprehensive private health insurance policy can provide the medication you may desperately need, when you need it.

Train drivers in Japan point at every signal and say out loud what they can see.

It looks completely mad. It cuts mistakes by up to 85%.

It works because saying something out loud drags it off autopilot. You stop looking straight through the thing and start actually seeing it.

That's the part of Atomic Habits we think about most. James Clear's argument is that habits run so quietly we stop noticing them at all.

Your cover sits in exactly that blind spot. It was right when you set it up. Then the mortgage grew, a kid turned up, you changed jobs, and none of it ever got said out loud to anybody.

So say it out loud. Once a year. Name what you've got and ask whether it still fits.

Happy to be the team you say it to. 03 662 9001.

There's a reason your insurance hasn't been looked at in years.

Every habit needs a cue, a craving, an easy response and a reward. Insurance has none of them.

Nothing reminds you. Nobody enjoys it. It feels like paperwork. And you get nothing back, for years.

So don't rely on willpower. Borrow a cue you already have. Same week as your birthday, every year.

You don't actually want insurance. Nobody does.

Chapter two of Atomic Habits is about identity. James Clear says the goal isn't to read a book, it's to become a reader. Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to be.

Cover works the same way.

Nobody wants a policy sitting in a drawer. What you want is to be the sort of person who put something in place, so if things go wrong your family isn't figuring it out on their own.

So that premium coming out each month isn't a bill. It's a vote.

It says I did what I could, while I could.
