Forty-four years ago Auckland financial advisor Ken Holmes took a job with a hay gang harvesting Pea Vine and Lucerne – heavy, dusty and scratchy and the Pea Hay would come apart easily. It was a hard job and he learned to toughen up and to cope with the personalities of the farmers with which he worked - some were miserable bastards who would barely speak others were very generous – one farmer even brought him tea and cucumber sandwiches!

 

You can never tell what you will encounter in life, who you will meet and what affect they will have on your life. This is frequently reflected in our employment and career. We work hard to establish a reliable and ongoing income by which we can support ourselves and our families but often, beyond our control, circumstances change and we can find ourselves unemployed or not in a fit state to undertake meaningful employment.

 

In the space of just three years Ken Holmes worked as service station lube bay, took a job as the lighting guy at a local theatre, worked as service station lube bay (again), applied for and got a job as a storeman labourer with NSW Rail, worked night shift in the retread factory for Goodyear Tyre Company, laboured on the hay gang and became a truck driver. There would be many more jobs before he found his forte with insurance.

 

Your greatest asset is your ability to earn an income and without it your lifestyle and future goals would be affected negatively. The uncertainty of continuing to earn an income can be mitigated with a combination of insurance that, if carefully chosen, can comprehensively protect this asset. A combination of Income Protection, Trauma, Life, Health and ACC cover designed around your circumstances, lifestyle, aspirations, assets and risks can be an affordable umbrella over your continued ability to earn and provide for your family. Have a talk with Ken Holmes the truck driver, hay gang labourer, retread man, storeman and insurance advisor.
