I'm 26yo. Is having a term plan ($99/mth) and Great Life Adv ($200/mth) ok?

What should I be looking to upgrade on? How do I know if my coverage is good enough?

Hi Anon,

Just wanted to ask for both plans, when do they expire? Also like what Hariz mentioned abt how Great Life Adv is an ILP, it would be best to take note that there will be rising mortality charges with age. Though if you do continually pay the premium, it should act like a life protection policy.

Just wanted to ask, did you look into getting an integrated shield plan and personal accident plan as well?

Well it depends on what and how much they cover my friend.

You can follow this rule of thumb.

Get 10 X Annual Income in the event of death and 5 X Annual Income as income protection in the event of Critical Illness.

If you follow these basic guidelines, you shouldn't be spending more than 10% of your income as premium.

So if you make 50k/yr. You should have 500k as death cover and 250k as CI cover, and this shouldn't cost you more than 5k/yr.

Would you recommend to get two term life plans from different insurance company? As I notice some term life plan would lapse after claim (not very sure, do correct me if i’m wrong) :)?

What additional insurance should I get besides Integrated Shield Plan? Most recommend term-life and investing, but I'm uncomfortable with not having coverage after 65yo. Any comments on a whole-life plan with early critical care rider. 25-30yo.?

I'm planning to get an ECI insurance plan - should I get a multipay/one time policy and should it be as a standalone or as a rider to a term life or whole life?

I'm 21, getting out of NS and into university. I currently have a whole life plan and ILP. Should I consider canceling the ILP, switching to term life and getting health insurance? What type of insurance should I get?

I'm 25 and I've just bought a term plan (Aviva - 500k death and TPD with multipay ECI -$1,179.30). I'm cash tight cus of my low pay. Did I make the right choice to choose this over whole life?
