Why insurance is necessary for all age groups??

 

Ages :16 to 25(Unmarried,Young Professionals)

        People of this age group will still be in higher education or may be into their first job .They may or may not have a spouse.They may or may not  have a house.They may or may not have dependents too.
        Their financial needs may vary from person to person.Some may still have some support from parents,may be saving towards future family needs-say buying house etc.,may be paying off education loans and last but not the least they likes to spend money.
        For them life insurance needs are probably zero,as they are likely to be no dependents.There is possibly a need for savings,like they can plan to go on some holiday or plan to buy a new car or buy furnitures,curtain,carpets etc.,for their home.they can plan to set up a new house or yes even plan to buy jewellery.
They should go for short term endowment assurance products,like metlife suggest metsuvidha participating and nonpaticipating and met ultimate the whole life endowment product.They can customize their plan with accidental death benefit,Term rider,Critical illness,waiver of premium.

Income equals the expense at this age so savings become mandatory... 

Ages:25-35(married with or without kids)

This stage calls for maximum Insurance protection because of high debt,highexpenditure phase and because family is dependent on your income.The wealth is not yet accumulated and importantly need for planning retirement is there.If you are in this stage of life,there is a big need for disability income and death benefit protection that is a need for temporary(term) or whole life insurance products,critical illness products and long term disability products.The policy duration should be at least as long as the expected period of dependency or up to the age of the normal retirement.
If you are in this stage,Term insurance products like met mortgage could benefit you.with met mortgage,you can be sure that the loved ones wont be put under financial stress of paying loans back,in case something unfortunate happens to you.You could also go for some of the endowment products that promise periodical returns that your child could use for his/her education,marriage etc. Endowmentassurance products,deferred annuity products could be thought as savings for retierment provision.Profit and unitlinked versions can protect you from future inflation.
Critical illness,Disability income,term insurance products as riders with permanent or endowment assurance products would form a cheapest way of getting income,death benefit protection and savings.Metlife suggests mortgage protection plan met100 par and nonpar,met sukh,met bhavishya,met ultimate.You can also customize the plans with accidental death benefit rider ,term rider,Critical illness,Waiver of premium riders .

Their needs comprises of retirement planning, wealth transfer or other savings vehicles could be used for this stage of life.Your emphasis should be on returns on investment so,with-profit or unit-linked products would be ideal.if you are close to retirement,you could also opt for guaranteed products.With profit or unit-linked whole life insurance products would be most useful for accumulating wealth to be transferred to the next generation.Moreover,because of the higher disposable income you might be having,single premium products could be attractive,providing a lumpsum benefit for the future through with-profit or unit linked products.
