What is the mortgage protection for? Have you read the small print? Do you need it?

The other two insurances are a must and they sound ok.

He also had no debts whatsoever before he bought the house and he has savings even though on a relatively low salary. He also managed to get a bargain and is living within his means. How refreshing.

Dreadful advisor. Is that a bank and was it their own policy or one of their tied products? At least it's fairly low.

Have a read of it tonight. You need to know what's a while? Are you sure it will pay out? Also the government will pay your mortgage interest if you both lose your jobs.

Obviously I didn't read these two properly. I was simply making an observation of how quickly you're savings had gone up and you bought a house and you're overall financial situation changed. No need to be defence I was actually intrigued that you managed to save so much.
