Let’s face it—insurance is often seen as a boring or even unnecessary expense. Many people delay purchasing insurance until it’s too late. But insurance isn’t just a financial product; it’s a critical part of your life strategy. At StepUp Advisory, we help you see insurance not as a sunk cost, but as a smart way to protect your family and future.
Understanding the True Role of Insurance
Insurance is about risk transfer. You pay a small premium now so you don’t lose a big amount later. Whether it’s a medical emergency, a vehicle accident, or an untimely demise, insurance ensures that your family doesn’t have to bear the brunt of emotional trauma along with financial hardship.
Types of Essential Insurance Everyone Should Have
- Term Life Insurance: Inexpensive and high coverage. This should be the first insurance product you buy once you start earning.
- Health Insurance: Medical costs are rising exponentially. A solid health policy prevents you from dipping into your savings during a crisis.
- Critical Illness Cover: Diseases like cancer and heart attack are becoming common at younger ages. A lump sum cover helps manage recovery without stress.
- Disability Insurance: Losing the ability to earn can be more devastating than death. Disability insurance helps replace your income.
Common Myths Debunked
- “I’m young, I don’t need insurance.” — Accidents and illnesses don’t discriminate by age.
- “My company gives me health insurance.” — Most employer-provided policies are not sufficient and lapse when you change jobs.
- “Term insurance is a waste because I don’t get anything back.” — Would you complain that your fire extinguisher never had to be used?
