Young Families: Protecting Your Dreams
When Sarah mentioned her concerns over coffee, it was a conversation I've had many times before. "We've got a big mortgage, the kids are young, and I lie awake at night wondering: what if something happens to one of us?"
The Young Family Squeeze
Today's Australian families face unique pressures our parents never encountered. We're buying homes later, with larger mortgages that often rely on two incomes. Then children arrive, and suddenly one parent reduces their work hours. The mortgage that felt manageable becomes a source of stress, while education costs climb and building a savings buffer feels impossible.
Could your family maintain mortgage payments on one income? Would your partner need to increase work hours if you weren't there? How would you manage financially if either parent needed long-term care? These aren't comfortable questions, but they're essential ones.
