When you last met Patrick, he was what life insurer FMI (a Division of Bidvest Life Limited), calls an 'Early Earner': 25, a recently qualified electrician, no dependants and a new set of wheels to his name. He's matured somewhat since then. At 32, he's taken the leap to open his own electrical business and marry the girl of his dreams. Together, they've had a child and bought their first family home.
