Top 5 Insurance Plans in 2022
Friends, we all should buy insurance and we all know this Especially life insurance, health insurance and motor insurance is already compulsory But apart from these 3 important insurance plans,
many other insurance plans are sold
unnecessarily to us but we can avoid those Why to pay the premium unnecessarily
So we are going to talk about 5 such insurance plans we should avoid With that,
we'll discuss about life insurance and we'll see what are the cases in which we
can avoid life insurance also The article is going to be interesting, stay tuned!
The
1st insurance we should avoid is HomeLoan Insurance See, when people buy a house, many people borrow a home loan
for it And people don't pay attention there When we receive the loan sanction
letter,
an insurance premium is also added to that
and generally, we don't pay attention to that component And this component is
added to your EMI So in a way, you're getting the premium of this insurance in
a loan form so you are paying interest on that So according to me,
there is no such benefit of this insurance and
we can definitely avoid this one Let me tell you why See, why we are buying or
bank is selling the home loan insurance? The main objective of the bank is, if
it happens in a case when the person who took home loan dies then they can do
the recovery easily On the other hand,
the
objective of the borrower is not to put the liabilities on his family So the
purpose of both is getting solved but we are getting this insurance expensive
Our purpose can also be solved with term insurance See, in case of all the
eventualities If someone's life is at risk and that person dies due to some reason
Then you get all these covers in term insurance Term insurance is already the
cheapest insurance and maybe that's why the sellers sell it less So we have to
see our own benefit and our benefit is to increase the term insurance That
means whenever we're buying
a
home loan or increasing our liability or borrowing any type of loan The portion
which is getting increased in our liability, we can increase the same portion
in our term cover That means, either we can buy an extra term policy or we can
increase the cover of our existing term insurance The second type of insurance
we should avoid is Flight insurance Whenever we travel by air,
you might have noticed an insurance premium is
automatically added But you can also uncheck that box According to me, there is
no such benefit from that insurance as well because it is covering such an
eventuality that if there occurs any accident during the flight or any mishap
happens in which loss of life is there It is covering such events These events
are also covered in term insurance
3rd is
Child Insurance Plan Many people sell these child insurance plans That means if
you have kids, then you can secure their education in future Such plans are
there in the market Or insurance against a child's life is also sold But firstly,
we should understand the purpose of the
insurance Firstly, our children are not earning right now Ultimately, the
insurance covers the events such as loss of earning So that the family of that
person doesn't suffer But since our children are not earning now, there is no
need for life insurance Otherwise,
you'll pay the premium unnecessarily Then
there are education plans about which we already discussed and all these things
are already covered in term insurance So we need to buy a comprehensive term insurance
plan
The 4th
insurance that we can avoid is Credit Card Insurance plan Many people are
unable to do the credit card payments So for that, credit card companies sell
insurance plans That means if you are not able to pay credit card bill due to
any reason Like unemployment can be a reason
Disability or accident can be reasons As we
discussed before, all these things are already covered in term insurance
Secondly, instead of buying an insurance plan for credit card and increasing
the spending on credit card It's better to maintain financial discipline and
buy less using credit card
And
for events such as unemployment, any disease for some time you can make an
emergency fund about which we discussed multiple times In that, keep a reserve
of your 6 monthly incomes as an emergency fund
The 5th insurance we
can avoid is Disease Insurance Many different types of plans are now available
in the market Some say to buy cancer specific insurance plan If in future, you
suffer from cancer then this insurance can cover such an event There are many
heart specific
plans
Many covid specific plans are there in the last 2 years But according to me,
there is no benefit of such insurance plans because we don't know from what
type of disease we will suffer in future So it's better to buy a comprehensive
health insurance plan
which covers maximum diseases and pre-existing
diseases So we discussed about 5 such plans which we should avoid Now let's
talk about Life insurance In some cases, there's no need of life insurance
What
is the purpose of life insurance? If anyone dies, then the family need not to
suffer That means we want to replace the earning of that person But if the
family income is already good Then maybe life insurance
is not required And in which cases can this
happen? If your spouse is already earning good Then they don't need an
insurance plan Or if you have some income generating assets Like many people
have an extra rental income. So they might don't need Many people have good
savings, good interest incomes
So in
cases where income generating assets are there or monthly income is good In
such cases, life insurance is not needed And when this happens? It generally
happens in your 40's or 50's when you build sufficient assets So the
requirement for life insurance decreases Because your children
also grow old and they also become independent
But insurance is a must for the people who are just starting their career and
are in 20's or 30's because liabilities can increase in the coming time So when
we buy insurance, we should buy it as soon as possible because the premium is
less So broadly speaking, as we discussed earlier We need only 3 main
insurances
1. Life
insurance in which we should buy a term insurance 2.
2. Health
insurance, in which we should buy a comprehensive insurance after research
3. Car
insurance which is already compulsory So that's it in this article.
