Insurance Guide

Why insurance matters and how to choose term and health cover without overpaying.

๐Ÿ›ก

Insurance is protection, not investment

The job of insurance is to protect your family from financial shock, not to grow your money. Keep the two goals separate.

Term life insurance

The cheapest, simplest life cover. For a low premium you get a large payout if something happens to you. Essential if others depend on your income.

Health insurance

Medical costs can wipe out savings in days. A health policy of at least five lakh for your family is a basic must-have.

Avoid mixed products

Plans that combine insurance and investment usually give weak returns and thin cover. Buy term insurance and invest separately.
