Take It or Leave It: Could Taking Stress Leave Affect My Insurances?
5/7/202648 min
It’s all too familiar. Work has you burning you out. And even your manager has suggested that you take some time off. So, why does it still feel weird to accept the offer, especially when you’re desperate for a break?
In this week’s Friday Drinks we cover that icky feeling some of us get around taking leave, even though it literally exists to be used. Beyond the stigma, we unpack how taking stress leave might affect your insurances and what to consider before submitting your request.
Say it with me: you cannot call yourself a financial adviser if you do not have a license (an AFSL). In this episode, we answer a DM that sends up more red flags than a carnival. A community member asks if she should take advice from an unlicensed financial adviser, even if it’s free. Hear us *calmly* explain why unsolicited advice is illegal, and could actually end up costing you more. Besties don’t let besties get scammed.
WHO THE HELL IS HAMISH? Here’s a link to the series about a super-scammer, mentioned on the pod, where an unfortunate number of innocent people were scammed out of their super. The moral of the story? It could happen to anyone! Don’t let that be you.
