STATE OF THE PROTECTION NATIONSAVING FOR A RAINY DAY…
• Having sufficient savings can be used to replace lost income
• However, according to a Money Advice Service 10.7 million adults in the UK have NO savings
• This is 21% of the population
• People who do save have an average savings balance of £4,212.40

STATE OF THE PROTECTION NATIONBEING OFF WORK SICK
• The average full time income in the UK in 2018 was £29,588 *
• Rounded up to an annual income of £30,000 this equates to net take home pay of £1,995 per month

STATE OF THE PROTECTION NATIONAVERAGE INCOMES AND OUTGOINGS
• Lets say someone earning the UK’s average annual income (£30,000 p.a.) with the average level of savings lost their income through sickness…
• Let’s say their average monthly outgoings were £1,500 each month
Is income replacement through savings
a viable solution?
