Trauma Cover Can Save You Financially
Most Melbourne’s have health insurance but very few of us have trauma insurance. This means we are covered for any hospital stays and operations (after the excess), but it doesn’t help out if we suffer a serious accident or get diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Over 100,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2010. Cardiovascular disease affects more than 3.4 million Australians. These numbers are scary yet the majority of us don’t have trauma cover protection. A trauma insurance policy will pay out a lump sum for anyone diagnosed with a serious illness or suffers a heart attack or major accident.
With the cost of living in Melbourne and around the country rising all the time, it can be important to protect against unexpected occurances, and have money to pay any medical bills, as well as ongoing costs such as mortgages and school fees for our families.

Most Victorians have too much stuff. Living in a consumer-focused society, it is no surprise that we succumb to buying more than we need. We buy a brand new iPhone even though tour current one still works fine, simply because the latest one is newer. No longer are we happy with a 40 inch television and need the latest LED 60 inch smart TV.
There are a number of reasons why we buy more stuff than we need:
A recent survey showed that Victorian households spend more than $100/week on clothes, shoes, furnishings and equipment. But for a lot of people, it can be common to spend thousands every month on new stuff.

This all leads to a build up of more and more material items and thanks to the rising housing market, while the size of our homes are getting smaller, the amount of stuff we own is increasing. Which is why so many people live in clutter!

Our busy lifestyles mean it can be hard to find the time to reduce the clutter in our homes. And when there’s so much of it, where do you start?
