20k... per account? adds up
I suppose most people won't have 20k (net) payslips, or draw it all out on pay day!
I'm not saying he's wrong, but covering a risk of this nature? I'm sure you'd be able to find someone to take your premiums
whether you'd be able to collect on it when needed, in the situation where the financial system is under serious stress is something else (see: 2008)
