Life insurance plays a crucial role in safeguarding the financial future of families, especially for the surviving spouse. Without this protection, the surviving spouse could face significant financial hardship.
Estate Planning: covering last expenses and providing an inheritance for loved ones.
By securing adequate coverage, couples can ensure that their estate is distributed according to their wishes and that their loved ones are provided for after they're gone.
Reality Check: Life insurance is more affordable than you think.
While daily expenses can add up, the cost of a good life insurance policy can be less than the price of your daily cup of coffee. Don't let misconceptions about cost prevent you from protecting your family's financial future.
Consideration: Being healthy doesn't make you invincible. Just like carrying a spare tire in your car prepares you for unexpected emergencies, life insurance safeguards you against unforeseen events. Whether it's illness, accidents, or the realities of living in a volatile environment, life insurance provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Reality Check: While employer-provided life insurance is a valuable benefit, it may not be sufficient to meet your family's long-term financial needs.
And, if you change jobs or become self-employed, you risk losing this coverage. Having your own policy ensures continuity and adequate protection for your loved ones.
Consideration: Even without children, if there are people who rely on you financially, such as a partner or aging parents, life insurance is essential. Protecting their financial well-being in your absence is just as important as providing for children.
Reality Check: Procrastination can have serious consequences. Don't let "eventually" become your family's "if only."
Investing in life insurance now ensures that your loved ones are protected no matter what the future holds. Consider the small sacrifice of a premium compared to the priceless security it provides for your family's Home Page and future.
Life insurance premiums are determined using:
Age
Marital status
Whether you smoke
Health (your current health, your weight, your family medical history)
Job (some professions carry a higher risk than others and may mean you have to pay more each month)
You could get this cover for as little as R 200 per month, depending on your individual details.
Yes, for less than the cost of a coffee a day, you can secure your family's financial future if you are not here.
Age | Male | Female |
25 | 1,500,000 | 2,200,000 |
30 | 1,300,000 | 2,150,000 |
35 | 1,200,000 | 2,120,000 |
40 | 1,000,000 | 2,000,000 |

If you are concerned about life insurance medicals, you can always look at Accidental Life Insurance cover, because there are no medical tests with this type of policy! 55% of claims are due accidents, so it is not a waste of time to consider this cover.
Cash Back from Policies
Be careful choosing insurance that offers you cash back or retirement proceeds.
Not only will you pay higher premiums - after all it is your money that pays for the future cash value anyway, not the insurance company - but as your life insurance risks change over time, you may well find that policy is so expensive in your later years that you cancel it and lose out!
And, on a claim, the cash value is NOT added to the sum assured of the policy!
I can show you a series of products that provide comprehensive cover against a wide range of risks. You can tailor your cover to suit your individual needs and circumstances at your different life stages.
