I heard a lot people bash endowment plans.

Can I seek an opinion on what scenario endowment plans help? From what I know. Does it help people with definite goals e.g. retirement, education etc? Interested to know more about how endowments can help one in retirement planning.

Some people say that retirement planning is not difficult but I feel that that's not the case for me because I don't earn a high enough income to save a lot or to invest. Please help?
