A mortgage is one of the biggest commitments most New Zealanders will ever take on.
But here is the part people do not like thinking about:
The bank does not stop expecting payments because you got seriously sick, injured, or could not work for a while.
Your body may need rest.
Your income may slow down.
Your stress may go through the roof.
But the mortgage is still sitting there, waiting.
That is why personal risk insurance can matter so much.
It is not just about protecting a loan. It is about protecting the home, the family routine, the kidsโ bedrooms, the neighbourhood you worked hard to be in, and the stability that holds everything together.
Because recovering from a health event is hard enough.
Recovering while wondering whether you will lose the house is another level entirely. ๐
