Paying Too Much, Yet Still Underinsured | Inside a Financial Plan Ep 8

You can be paying thousands for insurance and still be dangerously under-covered.

In this episode of Inside a Financial Plan, Callum walks Rachel and Dion through a full insurance reset - restructuring life, trauma, income protection, and health cover to reduce wasted premiums, close major coverage gaps, and align everything with their real financial plan, while increasing protection by thousands for only a marginal cost increase.

Next Steps: If you haven’t reviewed your insurance recently, talk to the Lighthouse team to make sure your cover actually matches your life, your risks, and your long-term plan.
