“The best piece of financial advice I have been given was to get income protection and life insurance.”

By Mel Greig (follow Mel Greig on Twitter). Mel Greig was a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice Australia and hosts the morning how at Wave FM on the New South Wales south coast.

The best piece of financial advice I have been given was to get income protection and life insurance.

The advice came from my husband (and it's the only time I'll admit he was right). My husband and I have very different financial views, he likes to save and I like to spend.

We were about to enter into a long distance relationship as I was moving to Sydney four years ago to work on the Hot 30 Countdown, my husband made sure my finances were in check before moving over there and that I had safety nets in place.

If he didn't give me that advice I would currently be in financial ruin.

I now pass this advice onto anyone that will listen, life and work can be very unpredictable and it's best to be safe than sorry. Seek financial advice and don't ever think you are too young to put safety nets in place, you never know when you might need them.

Esther Andersen #myfinancialadvice The best piece of financial advice I was ever given growing up was ‘you need to spend money to make money!’

Jason Akermanis #myfinanicaladvice One of the best pieces of financial advice I ever received wasn’t directly about money. It was - ‘Marry the right person. This one decision will decide 90% of your happiness or misery’

Jeff Fenech #myfinancialadvice One of the best pieces of financial advice I’ve received was from the very successful businessman Theo Onisforou. He told me when I was in my early 50’s that ‘usually when something is too good to be true, it probably is’.

Peter Berner #myfinancialadvice One of the best pieces of financial advice I received was when I was 20 years old. The advice came from Don Alford who was my first boss. He told me: ‘Buy a unit in Potts Point. They are only about $40,000. Get the loan. Be smart.’
