Yeah I’m aware of that… But I probably start it too late either. The latest I intend to start is 5 years later, and if I seem my financial stability good enough I’ll start earlier
I guess people saying ILP are scams made me really paranoid. And I realize that even ILP can’t protect from rising costs and you might still have to increase the amount you pay. Most people came out saying it wasn’t worth it anymore and just stopped?
They’re not scams per se, it’s just their dividend payouts don’t really come higher than market returns. Which makes sense then if you just go straight to an index fund. But we don’t have those. The closest we have are mutual funds that acts like index funds.
Investment i do believe is something you ought to decouple from insurance. And seeing your answer I just want to emphasize that because your early 30s is the absolute last best time to get a good rate on your premiums so if you need to prioritize, priority should go to insurance (you’re likely not to have chronic conditions, so they can’t deny you coverage for preexisting etc. You want them on the hook for having to cover your diabetes for example, not give them the opportunity to deny this + you have to pay higher premium because higher risk)

Maybe some people have a wrong expectation of insurance. Eg, if pay monthly then everything can settle.
So when things don’t happen as they thought, they feel cheated and vent to the world.
I sound like an insurance salesman. I’m honestly not ok. I do a totally differnent line of work.
That sounds fair… I guess it’s all about the ezpectations. And no I’m not you are an insurance salesman haha 😂
