44% of people from our recent poll believe that one should choose a term #insurance plan with '2 cr cover till 85' over '3 cr till 65', assuming they cost the same.
But that might not be such a smart move, financially speaking, and here's why. 👇 (1/n)
The thing is that a term insurance plan is most effective when your absence deals a financial blow to your family.
God forbid, if something unfortunate happens to you when you're in your 40s or 50s, your children might be young & your spouse may be unable to single-handedly bear the brunt of it all.
And it's precisely at this moment when you'd want to fuel them with all the #financial muscle power you've got.
The extra 1cr from the 3cr plan could make a world of a difference to your children who are yet to graduate uni and for meeting household expenses after you're gone
But let's say you're nearing 80, your children are all grown-up and independent, and you've probably amassed enough wealth to promise a decent lifestyle to you and your spouse. Would a term be as useful if you pass away then? Probably not.
And if you factor in inflation, by that time the 2 cr cover might not even be enough. Which is why it's a good idea to opt for a plan with a higher cover and a shorter duration.

Why should you buy health insurance at an early age?
A thread.👇(1/n)
#1 Better prices
Since the insurer is at a lower risk of getting claims, you can get a large cover at low premiums. But do note that these will increase with age.
#2 Comprehensive covers
Healthcare costs keep rising, so your company cover may fall short. Getting an individual cover early can provide you with adequate protection over and above your corporate plan. You’ll also be in a secure spot after retirement.
You’re a diligent policyholder. You make timely premium payments. So, if the need arises, you’ll obviously expect your insurance company to meet your claims in full.
But, one question looms over you: will my claims be thrown under the bus if my insurer goes under? (2/7)
The answer’s no. Tell you why.
See, it’s not like someone decides to start an insurance company today, & it materializes tomorrow. There are strict regulations at play here.
