If you make money, get health insurance for you and your family, and insure your assets that are a source of income, businesses. Get a life insurance to secure your family's future.
There's a saying " hope for the best and plan for the worst".
It makes a lot of sense to insure our basic needs, especially if we live in a country where there is no protection scheme to provide security for our family. Health insurance should be the first insurance we take out, because we never know what kind of illness we might face in life. Same goes for life insurance, if our family relies heavily on our income that we need to think of the worst case scenario. The problem in my country is that there is insurance for everything and the financial analyst earns a lot of commission for every new contract being signed. It's really hard to find the optimal level of insurance, because the sales people will always try to offer the premium package first. A lot of my friends are to,more than a 100% insured, which costs them a lot every month.
The problem is people have less or no interest in getting insurance because of the monthly obligation they have to pay most especially for those who are not educated on their chosen investments or assets.
