Protecting Your Salary – Why Income Protection Is a Non-Negotiable
05/14/25 • 45 min
What would happen if you couldn’t work tomorrow due to illness or injury? Would your bills still be paid? Would your family be okay?
In this first episode of the Woman & Finance podcast in partnership with Bidvest Life, we dive into one of the most overlooked yet essential types of cover: income protection.
Many South Africans insure their cars and gadgets—but forget to insure the very thing that pays for it all: their income. Whether you're employed, self-employed, or a freelancer, your ability to earn is your biggest asset.
This episode unpacks:
· What income protection is and how it works
· Why it’s different from life or disability cover
· Real talk on why many people delay getting covered and the impact
· How to start thinking about protecting your income the smart way
It’s time to shift the narrative: income protection isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.
🎙️ Listen now and learn how to protect your peace of mind and plan for the unexpected.
