In this episode of The Wealth Guide Podcast, we have Dr Jeffrey Scott, Head of Advice Strategy at MetLife Australia, a leading life insurance provider, partnering with employers, super funds, and financial advisers to help Australians protect their lifestyle and provide help when they need it most.

We talk about the circumstances under which life insurance may be unnecessary, the psychological reasons why most people hesitate to buy life insurance, and the unexpected pitfalls of cancelling your insurance too soon. 

We also discuss the “Big Four” medical conditions, making up to 90% of life insurance claims, firsthand accounts of how life insurance became a financial lifeboat in tragic situations and share one of our clients, Sonia’s gripping story about nearly cancelling her insurance policy before a major life illness.
