🚨 5 Mistakes Kenyans Make When Choosing Life Insurance (And How to Avoid Them)
🌄 Let’s be honest…
Most people don’t fail because they don’t care.
They fail because nobody ever explained it properly.
Here’s where things go wrong:
1️⃣. Treating Life Insurance Like a Bad Omen
Many people avoid it thinking it’s “inviting death.”
Let’s flip that.
Life insurance is not about dying, it’s about making sure your family keeps living well, no matter what.
👉 It’s a responsibility.
2️⃣. Choosing the Cheapest Option
“Cheaper is better” is a dangerous mindset here.
Low premiums often come with:
❌ Low cover
❌ Hidden exclusions
❌ Disappointments during claims
👉 Truth? Cheap can be very expensive.
3️⃣. Depending Only on Employer Cover
Your job cover feels safe… until it’s gone.
What happens if:
✓ You change jobs?
✓ You lose your job?
👉 Your protection shouldn’t be tied to your employer. It should be personal and permanent.
4️⃣. Ignoring Inflation
KSh 1M today feels like a lot.
In 10–15 years? Not really.
👉 If your cover doesn’t grow, it shrinks in value.
And your family pays the price later.
5️⃣. “Set and Forget” Mentality
Life changes… but most policies don’t.
Marriage. Kids. New responsibilities.
👉 If you haven’t reviewed your policy in years, chances are, it no longer reflects your reality.
💡 Final Thought
Life insurance is not a document.
It’s a promise that the people you love won’t struggle when you’re not there.
Most people don’t get it wrong on purpose.
They just don’t get the right guidance.
👉 I help individuals and families make smart, informed decisions so they don’t learn the hard way.
