Is there such a thing as timing when it comes to getting insurance? While others believe you can be too young to be thinking or paying for premiums, others also believe it can be too late for some people depending on their age. What are the other kinds of insurance policies one should consider throughout the years?
The most common personal insurance is health insurance. Depending on the coverage, this insurance cushions most of the expenses an individual has to pay for when they get sick. Sometimes, they even get bigger payouts depending on their policy. In the Philippines, the law provides us with agencies that help us with hospital bills, but most of the time, it isn’t just enough.
The next is life insurance — it readies individuals for retirement, certain illnesses or accidents, and yes, eventual passing. While it seems morbid, it ensures that families will no longer have to worry about funeral expenses and other costs that come with death. While health insurance tends to expire after a certain period of time, depending on the contract and the provider, life insurance lasts until the policyholder withdraws their payout or until death.
Other kinds of individual insurance include travel insurance which is usually paid one time along with plane ticket fees, car insurance for automobiles, home insurance, and even pet insurance. For businesses, their insurances give them protection during untoward incidents such as natural disasters, damages, and even robberies. Insurances in general help people live more and worry less. So when is the right time to get one?
The short answer to the question of when you should get life insurance is: as soon as you can. Some types of businesses can’t even open without insurance, and individuals should never underestimate the power and comfort that insurance brings once they start working. While there is very little limit on who can get a life insurance policy, their age and lifestyle does affect the premium or payment to the company.
While it seems too early and your salary may be a little too small to support certain bills and fit in hobbies at the same time, the relief insurance brings is priceless especially when you start needing it. Once you finish paying for one policy, you are still young and can go for another one. The key is always in finding the right insurance provider who will give you the right advice and the right policy to go along with your plans for the future.
