22.01.2022 QLD is a massive state! We travelled nearly 700kms today and are still 680kms North of Emerald. We have stopped in for the night at an old Nickel mining town called Greenvale in the Charters Towers region, it feels a very long way from home but we are super pleased with our $60 / night stay in this cool retro caravan! ... What a bargain! We don't even have to set up the tent! Travelling doesn't have to be expensive & we love to mix it up a little with different styles of accomodation along the way! How do you like to travel? #BeMadAboutLIFE #ExploreAusAffordably #RetroCaravan #DouglasFamilyAdventures

19.01.2022 The Game of Life.....Best gift of 2020!! Lessons we learnt in an afternoon... 1. Take the college route, although it takes a while the higher pay is worth it in the end.... 2. Be careful of the family route, all those kids tiles can really slow you down and effect your wealth accumulation 3. Take the risky route it pays dividends even if luck is against you! 4. Wine is essential! #BeMadAboutLIFE #boardgames

15.01.2022 Being there for our clients to manage a claim when they need it is the #1 Promise we make! The Mad About LIFE claims tracker is continuing to tick over every single day.....we have now successfully managed just short of $2,000,000 of claim benefits for 30 Life, TPD and Income Protection claims in the last 7 years. Interestingly:... *** Income Protection has been the most common benefit paid, with 23 of our 30 claims paid under this type of cover. ***Just over 50% of our client Income Protection claims have related to illness with the other half being injury related. *** After Income Protection, the next most common benefit paid to Mad About LIFE clients is from Total Permanent Disability cover. *** All of our Life Insurance claims have been paid out due to a Terminal illness diagnosis rather than death. #BeMadAboutLIFE #greatadvicechangelives #financialprotection

13.01.2022 * Question of the day * The charity someone chooses to donate money to can tell you so much about what is important to them. Let us know your favourite charity in the comments! A few answers from our team:... Jodie & Mike - The Royal Flying Doctors Service Providing emergency health care services for those living in regional areas of Australia who cannot access a hospital Laurie - Heart Kids Providing vital ongoing support to children and their families affected by Congenital Heart Disease Azaria - EB Research Partnership Funding research around Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a group of life-threatening skin disorders that affect children from birth Maddy - Samaritans Purse Providing gifts to children of low-income families, and emergency relief to suffering people around the world

12.01.2022 Is the writing on the wall for government stamp duty when buying a house or unit? It certainly is starting to look that way with the NSW Government announcing it would remove its Stamp Duty, replacing the upfront cost to buyers with an ongoing land tax instead. The ACT has already started transitioning to a new scheme. The Victorian government not to be out-done, have introduced Stamp Duty Discounts for the next 7 months. Concessions have been available for some time for ...first home buyers, but for others the duties are a significant upfront cost and is required on top of the deposit amount, resulting in a prohibitive extra expense for growing families moving to a bigger home. These changes have been talked about for years, and it’s good to see the States motivated to pull the trigger and do something about it. This is one positive that has come from the pandemic. An opportunity to reset and stimulate. If you are thinking about buying, selling, upsizing, downsizing, or moving interstate. Timing your next move could save you thousands.

11.01.2022 Have you ever noticed that when a Credit card is used, you never hear from the Bank to say thank you....but then when it's paid out and you're in control of your spending, the gift cards, rewards & other marketing letters from the bank come flooding in, trying desperately to entice you to spend again? #MoneyAwareness #Nocredit #Emotionalmarketing #behaviorchangerchange

04.01.2022 The Team at Mad About LIFE are doing a happy dance this afternoon! After we achieved another big GOAL for one of our longest standing clients! A special mention goes to our Client Service Officer Maddy for all the hard work she has put in recently to help achieve this fantastic outcome for our client! A beautiful young QLD family came to us in December of 2014, they had one child at the time and another on the way.... Unfortunately at the time, the father and primary breadwinner of this young family could only achieve Life Insurance and Trauma cover with a very high premium increase applied to the policies due to his health history at the time. No Income Protection or Total Permanent Disability Cover was available at all. So, we recommended and put in place a temporary protection plan, retained some existing basic cover that he had in various Super accounts (Thankfully) and have worked with our client every year since then to review his circumstances and insurability as he focused on improving his health. Today we achieved something amazing! His brand new Protection Plan went into force for a full scope of comprehensive cover, including; the Life, TPD, Trauma and Income Protection Insurance he needs, at a fraction of the cost of what he was paying for limited cover previously and we've managed to consolidate his Super into one account and save thousands of dollars in fee's! Woohoo - At Mad About LIFE, we always aim to improve our clients Protection plan in line with their needs and circumstances year on year, even when the insurers say no, we continue working towards a Yes until we achieve it! Congratulations to this young family, who now have the ultimate peace of mind! Thank you for choosing us to advise you for the past 6 years! #welovewhatwedo #GreatAdviceChangeLives #NoPlanIsSetAndForget #BeMadAboutLIFE #YourProtectionPlan
