Workshop on super and insurance

A free superannuation and personal insurance workshop will be held at The Sporties Woy Woy Bowling Club on Wednesday, September 21, from 6:15pm.

The seminar will be run by local AXA financial advisor Mr Tony Chapman and is aimed at Generation Y and the younger end of Generation X.

With retirement 20, 30 or even 40 years away, Mr Chapman said he knew that investing, superannuation and personal insurances are the last things on young people's minds.

"Such a long time frame gives Generation Y a great opportunity to get their finances in order," he said.

"They can use the superannuation system to their advantage and start a savings and investment plan that can ultimately make them richer than their parents.

"Insurances such as life, income protection and trauma are ones that need definite consideration.

"The best and easiest time to get these insurances is when you are young and healthy, and premiums are low," said Mr Chapman.

Many examples will be discussed to demonstrate the benefits of starting early and the impact it can have through the course of a life.
