You insure your home, your car and your phone. But have you properly protected the thing that funds everything else: your income?
For many of us, insurance sits firmly in the “I’ll do it next week” pile. It can feel boring, complicated, easy to put off, and not nearly as interesting as almost anything else.
But here’s the thing: if your income stopped tomorrow, would everything else still work?
Could the mortgage still be paid? Would your family be financially secure? Would your pension contributions continue? Would your savings really stretch as far as you think?
This session is here to help you understand the basics without the jargon, scare tactics or sales pitch.
We’ll talk through the main types of financial protection, including life insurance, income protection and critical illness cover, and explain what each one is designed to do.
We’ll also look at the common gaps people miss, why employer benefits may not be enough on their own, and why protection is not just about disaster planning. It is about keeping your options open.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer idea of what protection is, why it matters, and what questions to ask when looking at your own situation.
This is not about panic. It is about being prepared. Because protecting your wealth is not just about what you save and invest. It is also about making sure one unexpected event does not undo everything you are working hard to build.
Finance on Friday is our monthly 30-minute live session covering the money topics that matter to women.
We talk about finance in a way that connects to real life, from pensions and investing to tax, saving, planning and the decisions that shape your future.
No jargon. No judgement. Just clear, useful conversation to help you feel more in control.
