Why Life Insurance is a Must-Have for Every Earning Member

Hello Friends!

Today, we are going to talk about something very important – Life Insurance. Many people do not take life insurance seriously. Some think it is not necessary, while others do not understand its benefits. But let me tell you, life insurance is not just important, it is a must for every earning person to protect their family.

Why is Life Insurance Important?

Let’s take an example to understand this better. Imagine a person named Ramesh who earns Rs. 50,000 per month. His entire family depends on this income. Suddenly, if something happens to him, how will his family survive? His income will stop, and his family will face financial difficulties.

This is why life insurance is necessary. It gives financial security to the family in case of any unfortunate event. The right amount of life cover ensures that the family continues to live comfortably even if the main earning member is no longer there.

How Much Life Insurance is Needed?

A simple rule: The life cover should be at least 10 times the yearly income of the person.

For example, if a person earns Rs. 50,000 per month,

His yearly income is: Rs. 50,000 × 12 months = Rs. 6,00,000

So, the required insurance cover should be Rs. 60,00,000 (10 times the yearly income) to ensure the family’s financial security. If any unfortunate event occurs, the family will receive Rs. 60 lakhs. By investing this amount in a fixed deposit (FD) with an 8% annual interest rate, they can earn around Rs. 40,000 per month. This ensures a steady income, helping the family avoid financial difficulties.

Till What Age Should You Take Life Insurance?

Life insurance should cover a person until their retirement age (usually 65 to 70 years). This is because after retirement, regular income usually stops, and a person should have built sufficient savings or passive income sources like pensions, investments, or rental income to sustain their lifestyle. Ensuring life insurance coverage until this age helps protect the family financially during the earning years, while post-retirement financial planning should focus on savings and investments. After retirement, a person should have enough savings to manage their expenses. That’s why life insurance is needed only during the working years.

Should You Take Insurance in the Name of a Child?

Many people buy life insurance for their children, thinking it will benefit them. But life insurance is meant to protect the earning member of the family, not the child. Instead of buying an insurance policy for a child, invest that money in good schemes like mutual funds for their future.

Is Life Insurance Expensive?

Not at all! Many people think life insurance is costly, but the truth is, term insurance policies are very affordable. Unlike endowment or money-back policies, which combine insurance with savings and have higher premiums, term insurance focuses solely on providing financial protection at a lower cost. A Rs. 60 lakh cover can be taken at a very low premium. This small amount ensures that your family is safe in case of any unfortunate event.

Final Words

Life insurance is not a luxury – it is a necessity. If you are the earning member of your family, you must ensure their safety and future security. Don’t delay, get insured today!
