Mostly As

The Planner

You are proactive and organised, taking deliberate steps to anticipate and mitigate potential risks. You prioritise having appropriate insurance coverage and emergency funds. You have sought financial advice to ensure that you and your family are protected for the future against life’s uncertainties. It is important to regularly assess your protection plan to ensure it evolves with your changing needs, so consider a review call with your financial planner if some time has passed since you last reviewed your plans.

Mostly Bs

The Procrastinator

You are well intentioned and understand the importance of being protected against whatever the future may bring. But you have a tendency to delay or react only when unexpected events occur. Whether due to avoidance, feeling overwhelmed, or a belief that crises will not happen, it is likely that you may lack key cover that would safeguard your and your family's future. Consider setting up a meeting with your financial planner to review your current coverage.

Mostly Cs

The Carefree Optimist

You value simplicity and living in the moment more than detailed planning. Your optimistic approach means that you may underestimate the potential risks, and instead hope for the best. You may have minimal cover in place, and you adopt a relaxed attitude towards financial planning, leaving gaps in your preparedness. Consider setting up a meeting with your financial planner to review your current coverage.

The Pragmatist

While you understand the importance of being prepared, you also value enjoying the present moment. You take some steps to anticipate and mitigate potential risks, however, you also trust in your ability to handle unexpected challenges as they arise, rather than becoming overwhelmed by excessive planning. You may lack cover in key areas which would safeguard yours and your family's future. Consider setting up a meeting with your financial planner to review your current coverage.

Feel secure and confident that that you have the right contingency plans in place to give you peace of mind – for whatever the future may hold.
