Managing Personal Risks
Insurance agents tell customers about the risk of death and gets them to save a lot of money in life insurance policies.
To manage your personal risks, you need to consider the following:
> you need to take care of the risk of "premature death", i.e. death that occurs during your working life (until your children are grown up)
> there is no need for life insurance beyond 65 (as everyone will die one day anyway)
> you need to have sufficient savings for your retirement
> your medical expenses can be covered by Medishield , so critical illness insurance is not necessary.
Too much savings is being spent on whole life and critical illness insurance today, due to advice by insurance agents. The chance of death or a critical illness occurring during the working life is less than 5% or 10%. But, it takes away too much savings and leave behind too little savings being invested for retirement (which is the risk faced by more than 90% of the population.
Many people today have inadequate savings for their retirement, due to bad management of their personal finances. They put too much money in life insurance policies that take away high expenses and give a poor yield on their savings.

Remember. The insurance agent will give you many other reasons to buy a whole life or critical illness insurance. They must market the product, as they are paid commission on the sales. You can ask the agent how much commission is paid to them. It is stated in the Benefit Illustration. The commission comes from your premium. It does not come from the generosity of the life insurance company.

Joke: statements of motor accidents
> As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
> To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
> My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.
