? 1. Do I really need life insurance?

A simple way to answer this is by asking:
“Do I have anyone dependent on my salary to sustain their standard of living?”
In other words, if you were to pass, would those still alive have issues covering the cost of your burial?
Covering rent or mortgage payments and other bills?
What about any remaining medical costs?
Would they have enough money to cover those and still maintain their normal life?
If the answer to any of these is “No, they wouldn’t,” then you should consider what life insurance options work best for you and your needs.

? 2. How do I buy life insurance?

Remember, only do business with a licensed and well-reviewed insurance agent or company. Once you have an insurance agent or company who you feel confident doing business with:
• Decide how much coverage you need, for how long, and what you can afford to pay.
• Learn what kinds of policies will provide what you need and pick the one that is best for you.
• Do not sign an application until you review it carefully to be sure the answers are complete and accurate.
• Do not buy life insurance unless you intend to stick with your plan. It may be very costly if you quit during the early years of the policy.
• Be sure to review your contract and understand exactly what is or isn’t covered.
• When you buy a policy, make the check payable to the company, not the agent.

? 3. What is General Insurance and what are the different kinds of General Insurance?

General Insurance is essentially Non-Life Insurance. It offers protective coverage for assets other than life. Depending on the kind of asset insured, there are different kinds of General Insurance, such as:
• Health Insurance, which insures the health of the policyholder
• Home Insurance, which covers residential properties
• Vehicle Insurance, which covers automobiles, cars, and other kinds of vehicles, depending on the specific terms of the policy
• Travel Insurance, which insures the policyholder against several mishaps/accidents that could occur during travel

? 4. When should I purchase a Health Insurance Plan?

Health Insurance Plans offer a cover that helps you meet the costs of medical emergencies. Since such medical emergencies can occur at any point in life, it is always a good idea to invest in Health Insurance policies as early as possible. Ideally, it’s a good idea to purchase a Health Insurance plan when you’ve landed your first steady job. That way, you can promptly pay your premiums when they are due, and you can enjoy the benefits of a medical cover too.
