INSURANCE
Why do we need
personal insurance?
"Everything is getting so expensive these days. Medical bills, rent, even car repairs - it can get hard! "I know, That’s why I finally got serious about personal insurance. It’s the only way to make sure I am not in a challenging financial position for myself and my family if something unexpected happens."
"I get health insurance by my company , but do I really need more than that?"
"Think about it - is it even sufficient coverage with expensive hospital bills. And what if you lose your job or are in-brtween jobs? Or worse, what if something happens to you and your family is left struggling? That’s where life insurance comes in. And what if your car gets damaged or your house gets damaged? Insurance protects you from all those risks."
"Yeah, I guess I never thought about it that way.
"True, but imagine paying out of pocket from your savings for a hospital bill or fixing your car after an accident. That’s way more expensive. Inflation is driving up the cost of everything, including medical care and property repairs. A substantial insurance plan helps you manage those costs without draining your savings.”
"Okay, so help me understand -
what kinds of insurance should
I actually consider?"
