“Thank you so much for your very useful weekly emails! My wife and I have read every single Post you’ve sent so far, and they’ve been very interesting indeed!” - Ben
Member Profile
Sarah and Ben are both 46 years old, they don’t have children and know this means they won’t have anyone to rely on when they get older.
The Situation
They wanted to be proactive and make sure they were as organised as they could be - for each other. They hesitated about signing up at first because they thought Podplan might not be suitable for them. But after some thought, they decided to take the leap and explore what Podplan had to offer.
The Solution
Now, a few months into their membership, Sarah and Ben are thrilled they signed up. They have filled in their PodVault, where they keep all their important information in one place for either of them to quickly update and access.
Ben usually handles household tasks like paying the electric and water bills, so he made sure Sarah knows how to find that information. Meanwhile, Sarah takes care of their life insurances and even their dog’s vet details, ensuring Ben is in the loop too.
With Podplan’s help, they’ve also had important discussions about their finances and how they’d manage if they ever needed care services. They even made some changes during a recent bathroom renovation to make it more accessible for the future.
One of their favourite parts of being Podplan members is the weekly PodPost email. They look forward to reading the tips and advice that come each week.
For Sarah and Ben, joining Podplan was about more than just preparing for the future—it was about feeling secure today. They now have a solid plan, their important information is organised, and they’re on the same page about what lies ahead.
The Results
Their story shows that Podplan membership is for anyone who wants to take control of their future, not just those with big families. With tools like the PodVault and helpful weekly emails, Sarah and Ben have found real value from their membership.
With their Podplan membership, Sarah and Ben have:
- Made it much easier for either of them to find important information in an emergency
- Taken steps to future proof their home
- Completed legal planning tasks
- Decided how they would pay for care services if they were needed on a long term basis
If you’re thinking about your future and want to be prepared, take a cue from Sarah and Ben. Podplan can help you get organised and stay informed, no matter your situation.
