Week 8: Insurance
Introduction
The rationale of insurance – household risk management. When to buy cover and when to self-insure? Apply the financial planning model to insurance decisions.
Martin introduces the final week of the course. The focus here is insurance – both compulsory and optional. How do you decide whether the optional types are worth paying for? In this week you revisit behavioural factors that influence financial decision making, and you tackle the end-of-course test.
