Why Life insurance is important?

Not having life insurance can have significant financial impacts on your family, even if you have other types of insurance. Life insurance provides a financial safety net for your loved ones in the event of your unexpected death.

It’s important to consider the benefit of having Life insurance in comparison to your other insurances as well as the cost.

Life insurance is important because it protects the people who depend on you financially if you die.

If you die unexpectedly, your income stops instantly, but your family may still have to pay for:
- rent or mortgage
- food and daily living costs
- school fees
- debts (loans, credit cards)
- funeral costs
- childcare expenses

What life insurance does
It gives your family a lump sum payout so they can survive financially and maintain stability.

When it matters most
Life insurance is especially important if you have:
- children
- a spouse/partner who relies on your income
- shared debt (like a mortgage)
- parents or siblings you support financially

Main benefit
It prevents your family from being forced into hardship, selling property, or taking on debt after your death.

Does the benefit of having insurance outweigh the cost?

Life insurance can be a critical part of a comprehensive financial plan, ensuring those who depend on you are protected.

Why don't you prioritise life insurance?

Because for most people, life insurance only matters if someone else depends on their income.

If you’re single, have no kids, no partner relying on you financially, and no major shared debts, then paying monthly premiums is often a low-priority expense compared to things like:
- building an emergency fund
- paying off high-interest debt
- saving/investing
- getting health/disability coverage

Life insurance becomes much more important when you have dependents, a mortgage with a partner, or anyone who would be financially harmed if you died.

If Life insurance isn’t a priority now, you should consider taking out cover now whilst healthy to ensure you have the right cover when you do need it in future.

Reasons why insurance matters

Main reasons it matters:
- Income replacement: If you’re the main earner, life insurance can replace your income so your family can still pay for daily living expenses.
- Debt coverage: It can help pay off major debts like a mortgage, car loan, or personal loans, so your family isn’t burdened.
- Funeral and final expenses: Funeral costs can be expensive, and life insurance helps cover them.
- Support for children’s future: It can help pay for education, childcare, and other long-term needs.
- Business protection: For business owners, life insurance can help cover business debts or support partners if one owner dies.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your family will be financially secure reduces stress and uncertainty.

In short, life insurance is important because it ensures your loved ones are not financially stranded if something happens to you.

Does weight matter?

Your weight matters when you apply for insurance because insurance companies use it to estimate your health risk and life expectancy.

Being overweight or underweight can be linked to higher chances of serious health problems, such as:
- heart disease
- high blood pressure
- type 2 diabetes
- high cholesterol
- stroke
- sleep apnea
- joint and mobility issues

Insurance companies often calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) using your height and weight. If your BMI is higher (or very low), they may assume there is a greater chance of future medical claims, so they charge a higher premium.

That said, weight is only one factor. If your lab results, blood pressure, and medical history are good, you may still qualify for good rates.

Sleep Apnea

A person with sleep apnea can usually qualify for life insurance, but it depends on how serious it is and whether it’s being treated.

Insurance companies mainly look at:
- Severity (mild, moderate, severe)
- Treatment (especially if you use a CPAP machine)
- Consistency (whether you actually follow the treatment)
- Other health conditions (obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes)

If sleep apnea is well-controlled
- If you use CPAP regularly and your condition is stable, many insurers will still approve you, often at standard rates or slightly higher.

If sleep apnea is untreated
If it’s not treated, insurers may:
- charge a much higher premium
- limit coverage
- or deny the application (especially if severe)

Best advice
If someone has sleep apnea and wants life insurance, it helps to:
- follow treatment consistently
- have recent medical records showing control
- apply through an agent who works with multiple companies to help determine the best cover for you.

Diabetes

Diabetes can affect life insurance, but it does not automatically disqualify you. Many people with diabetes still qualify for coverage and this is where we can help you determine the best options for your insurance.

How diabetes affects life insurance?
Insurance companies see diabetes as a risk because it can lead to complications like heart disease, kidney problems, stroke, and nerve damage.

What insurers look at
They usually check:
- Type of diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2)
- Age when diagnosed
- HbA1C level (average blood sugar control)
- Medications (insulin vs pills)
- Complications (eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart)
- Overall health (blood pressure, cholesterol, weight)
- Lifestyle (smoking, diet, exercise)

Tips to get better rates
- Keep your HbA1C under control
- Take medications as prescribed
- Manage blood pressure and cholesterol
- Have regular doctor checkups
- Apply through an agent who compares multiple insurers

Income Protection Through Super

✅ Pros
- Cheaper premiums (group rates) can be available for some occupations
- Premiums paid from your super balance will reduce your retirement savings
- Easier cashflow month-to-month
- Often automatic cover when you join a fund

❌ Cons
- Restricted definitions (law-based) Super law requires a stricter definition: You must be unable to work in any occupation you’re reasonably suited for which can make claims harder to qualify for.
- Shorter benefit periods
- Limited flexibility
- Claim payments may be delayed
- Tax still applies

Big Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Assuming super IP is “enough”
❌ Not checking benefit period
❌ Long waiting periods
❌ Letting super balance run low (policy can cancel)
❌ Not reviewing cover when income rises

Income Protection Outside Super
