A Reminder from a Survivor

Hey Scott,

I read your book at 21, bought a home at 26 … then got cancer at 34. Following the Barefoot steps made my diagnosis manageable. Three months of saved expenses (Mojo) saw me through treatment until my Income Protection kicked in. No financial pressure to return to work whilst I continue immunotherapy.

However, sharing my story with friends (most with large mortgages and small children), it terrifies me how many don't have adequate Income Protection.

My message: spend 30 minutes checking your super fund's default cover. Ask yourself if it's enough when the worst happens. You never want to claim it, but if you need it, it's a financial life raft.

Hi Ellie,

This is important. 

I don’t want to put the mozz on anyone, but Ellie didn’t think this was going to happen to her either.

I consider this a Public Service Announcement from a tough as nails survivor.

Act accordingly.   

Thank you for reading!
