When discussing cancer, the conversation often focuses on treatment and recovery.

But there’s another reality that deserves attention: THE FINANCIAL IMPACT.

Beyond direct medical expenses, individuals and families may face reduced income, additional travel costs, caregiving expenses, and other unforeseen financial pressures. These challenges can have a lasting effect on long-term financial wellbeing.

For financial professionals and consumers alike, understanding the broader financial implications of serious illness is an important part of effective financial planning.

An informed plan is not about predicting the future. It’s about preparing for uncertainty.

A reminder that your health matters. 💗
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kevin Siebrits and team is encouraging every woman to make time for the conversations, check-ups, and self-examinations that could make a difference.

Early awareness starts with knowing your body and paying attention to changes. It's also about supporting the women in our lives, whether that's a mother, sister, friend, colleague, or client.

Let's use this month to spread awareness, share knowledge, and remind one another that looking after our health is one of the most important investments we can make.

Together, we can help create a future where more women have access to information, support, and early detection.

SHARE THIS MESSAGE with the women around you

But life happens.

The good news?

You don't need a new year to make a fresh start. October is the perfect opportunity to pause, review where you are, and take the next step towards where you want to be.

Sometimes, the smartest financial move isn't doing it alone. A conversation with a nearby Sanlam Financial Planner like Curtley Fortuin can help you see opportunities, spot gaps, and build a plan that works for your life.

Your future self will thank you for starting today. 🌱
