LONG TERM SAVINGS
Financial planning is not only about growing wealth but also managing risks effectively. There are multiple instruments for savings but life insurance is the key to manage financial risks and see you through uncertainties. While most Indians have been brought up to save in safe instruments such as fixed deposits, it is essential to understand why life insurance policy is the gateway to financial freedom.
Buying a whole life insurance plan is an important financial decision that one needs to make during their adult life. It becomes imperative that you invest in life insurance especially if you are the sole earner in your family. This becomes a financial cover for your family and will allow them to maintain their standard of living. Life insurance policies can be purchased where you pay premium monthly or yearly and they will cover you against death, life threatening diseases and can also provide a suitable payment provision post retirement.
The other option is to opt for single premium life insurance. It is a single premium endowment plan which also acts as a protection plan. Lump sum is paid at the outset of the policy. This can provide protection against death and can also provide finances post the end of the policy.
Why life insurance is necessary?
There are multiple reasons to opt for life insurance and unlock your pathway to freedom.
