Is Insurance In NZ Worth It Anymore? w Johny Winstone (Insurance Market) 

The cost of insurance has been climbing and many people are thinking about self-insuring themselves - i.e. not having insurance but thinking they will stack money aside to cover eventual issues. But how realistic is this and can it work? I sit down with Johny Winstone who has over 6,000 clients and we discuss all things insurance. I promise it isn’t boring and you will learn something. 

We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don’t know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it’s importance.
