Protect your property with adequate insurance
Insurance is considered an unnecessary expense by far too many people, who endanger their livelihood and financial security but not investing in sound risk management. While it is true that insurance companies essentially operate under the assumption that most of what they cover you for will happen rarely, if ever, the scale of such disasters is such that without insurance you may never recover.
Certain types of insurance in Australia are mandatory if you own particular assets, such as car insurance, for example. However, just covering yourself for the minimum level of insurance is a great disservice. Minor car accidents are relatively common, and inadequate insurance for your needs could severely harm your capacity to bring in an income if you are rendered unable to travel to work. You must obviously strike a practical balance between what you pay in insurance and what is sensible to cover, but do not underestimate the level of cover appropriate for your situation.
