#36 | Results from 5th March
Here are the results from yesterday’s Mobilise Moments poll.
Do you have life insurance?
51% of us do not have any life insurance. While just over 43% of us either have it or are thinking about it.
Whether we need life insurance, depends on if we have a partner, children or family who depend on our income to cover the mortgage or other living expenses.
With over 90% of our cared for living with us (Mobilise Moments #2) it's important to be sure our cared for aren't reliant on our income for their home, or to have an alternative plan in place if the worst were to happen.
