Five ′′ A ′′ of Life Insurance - Why, Which, How much, From Where to What
To explain one thing in general, why, how, why & why are the same in life insurance. I'm trying to explain why, what, how much and where to what in life insurance since how it doesn't come in this
Why or why insurance?
Underlying Value of the Vehicle or any other asset is not insured for car or bike. The vehicle was damaged in the accident, I can't ask the insurance company to pay me the same vehicle - the insurance company will pay the value of the vehicle on the day of the accident. Even if the name is life insurance, insured is user's income. Insurance company will provide insurance to everyone based on the concept of Human Life Value.
Life insurance is only to compensate for loss of income due to sudden death. Life insurance is essential for someone (parents, wife, children) who depends on their income.
Life insurance will help the Dependants not suffer economically if he dies in income period
Which is the right insurance?
Life insurance companies sell different types of policies like endowment, ulip, money back, whole life but real life insurance is only term insurance. Only in that can you get ′′ enough ′′ insurance.
How much insurance is needed?
This varies for everyone but it's better to take insurance 20 times your annual income in general. Should take at least 10 fold
From where to what is the need for insurance?
I've heard many say they need insurance after marriage, insurance after birth. I always remember this event.
A cricket test match was going to be held in India. They were telling the guy that the goat field would spin from day, third, and fourth, a commentator said - the pitch would be spin from when a spin bowler came and bowled. Just like that you need life insurance from the first day someone relies on your income.
Life insurance premiums will increase as you age, so it is better to take life insurance when you go to work.
The need for life insurance is like the Positive Cycle of Sine Wave in the picture. The requirement that starts at the age of 25, will grow with income. First only your parents will trust you, then the number of people who are relying on your income as wife and children will increase. To grow more income, you will increase your lifestyle accordingly.. At the age of 25, there will be no big commitment, in the age of 40 and 50, there will be a lot of commitments like home loan, vehicle loan, college expenses, marriage expenses. In this period, the need for insurance is more. If a person in his forty dies suddenly, the only way his family can maintain the same lifestyle for the next 15-20 years and not suffer economically is to take a term policy.
If you keep a term policy 20 times your annual income at the age of 25-30, the income will increase and the insurance will decrease. When it's approaching 10 folds, you should make sure you have 20 times the insurance of your income by taking another policy or abandoning the old and taking the same policy.
After 50 years of age in the picture, the need for insurance is decreasing. Why is that?
After going to work at the age of 25, start saving for marriage, children, education, medical goals and retirement. I have mentioned approximately 50 years of age, this will vary for everyone - at a certain age, commitments like children's education, home loans will be completed, and substantial savings will be on hand.
For example, a 50-55 year old has paid off the home loan, the child's college expenses are over, even if he dies suddenly, let's keep that his wife needs 2 crore rupees to maintain the same lifestyle for the next 20-25 years. If the savings are one crore, the insurance requirement is only 1 crores. If you have 2-3 term policy in this situation, you can stop one generously. You can't reduce coverage if you have the same policy as a whole, but you don't need to increase insurance even if you
Life insurance is only to compensate income loss. The day you stop earning income, which means the day you retire, the need for insurance also ends. Though it is approximately mentioned as 65 years old in the picture, it is enough to take life insurance till the age you want to go to work Need to save money to spend the remaining time by that date.
Many people don't have much difference between policy till age 65 and policy till age 80 and premium so they think they can take policy till age 75-80 There is a sub-question that if you don't save enough for retirement, you will get insurance money.
1. You will unnecessarily pay more premiums while working. You are thinking that only 500 rupees per month is more, but that 500 rupees investment will be 8-9 lakh rupees in 30 years
2. insurance companies are not for doing charity, in a country they design policy by calculating the life expectancy of the people.. If you do not die under the age of 65, it is not sure that you will die before the age of 75
3. How do you pay insurance premium when you don't want to save enough money to live in retirement? Then you will definitely stop the policy, till that day more premiums paid will be wasted
Don't think you have to get money from a life insurance company anyway, that strategy will never win.
Someone may have a thousand reasons not to buy “Adequate Term Insurance”
My only response to him would be “All of them would sound ridiculous to your Widow”
