    Me and my wife are thinking of taking up life/income/tpd insurance outside of super and also change our super providers.

    I understand I need to talk to a financial advisor/planner regarding this.

    How do I find a good financial advisor/planner? Is there anyone recommenced in pc?

    Thanks.

    Why not a strategy that considers in and out of super ? It varies with a range of factors including accrued sick leave and long service leave (since these can suffice until the waiting period runs down). Our financial advisers have taught me that this is a complex area where experience matters.

    Stay clear of anyone who works for or is a tied agent for a insurer or a product seller such as a bank.

    Our financial advisers offer a obligation free initial consult.

    Suggest searching the Financial Planner thread for FP recommendations. I remember Terry suggesting the person below in this thread [LINK]. Note I haven't used Kyle or have had any dealings with him.

    "Try an independant financial planner - such as Kyle at

    this is a tricky area and not like buying a fridge

    Many peops have " a good deal" and when time comes to claim, they find out they are NOT insured,.

    a fully underwitten and researched policy is the best way to go IF one wants proper risk cover.

End of 2021 sees move to a buyers’ market.

Property listings out-paced buyer demand heading into Christmas with sellers also doing some price rationalisations according to Domain. The FOMO that dominated 2021 seems to be fading so it will be interesting to track early 2022 indicators.
