Show Notes

In this episode, Sarah Coles and Helen Morrissey explore the hidden financial risks that can catch people out in mid-life. They talk about job losses among older workers, the financial impact of ill health and divorce, and why many people discover gaps in their emergency savings and pensions later than they expect.


This episode also covers how to build financial resilience by reviewing the protections you have in place – looking at life insurance, income protection and critical illness cover.
