Secure Your Life Advisory

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to picking the perfect policy 🤔

Contrary to popular belief, insurance can be pretty… cinematic.

So we want to know: what is your favorite movie about insurance 🤔

We’ll go first: The Rainmaker

It’s no secret that insurance policies are hard to follow.

But learning insurance terminology is key to picking the right policy — so allow us to clear up a few key terms:

-Insurer: This is the company or individual who promises to reimburse you.
-Insured: This is the individual who receives the payment — except in the case of life insurance, where the payout goes to a named beneficiary.
-Premium: This is the amount you pay every month for the insurer’s promise to reimburse.
-Deductible: This is a threshold — it is the amount of money you have to pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in.
-Risks or Perils: These are the events that cause damage.

After learning these few phrases, you’ll be ready to pick the perfect policy for you — but if you still need a hand, we’re always here to help :)

Navigating health insurance plans can be a daunting task.

The terminology is confusing, policy breakdowns are hard to follow, and the stakes are awfully high.

So to make the selection process easier, here are a few things for you to consider:

1) Your employer’s plan may not be the best deal

This is because group insurance premiums are based on the group’s average health — so if you’re healthy as a horse, you might find a cheaper plan or one with more benefits.

2) The lowest premium plan may not be cheaper in the long run

Low premiums are tempting, we get it! But when it comes to medical emergencies, premiums might not even be the most significant cost.

After all, plans with lower monthly fees tend to make up the difference elsewhere — usually with a high out-of-pocket deductible!

3) But don’t avoid high-deductible plans either

If you maintain your health and have the means to cover the expenses, higher deductibles can actually save you a lot of money in the long run!

One of the main reasons why people get life insurance is because they want the peace of mind that their loved ones will be taken care of in the event of their death.

It may seem obvious — but did you know that home insurance and rental insurance aren’t the same thing?

Well, in case you didn’t, allow us to clear up the confusion:

To put it simply, home insurance provides coverage for damages and losses due to unexpected perils like theft, flooding, or fire.

It’s for people who own their house or apartment — and covers both the physical structure of their home and the personal belongings inside.

Rental insurance, on the other hand, provides coverage for losses and damages to a renter’s personal property — not for the building itself.

So know the difference, and pick the right policy to make sure you’re covered either way!

As insurance aficionados, we believe that the benefits of insurance coverage far outweigh the potential costs.

But we might be a little biased ;)

So for all you insured citizens out there:

So you’re thinking about buying private health insurance, but still haven’t figured out if it’s right for you.

It’s OK — we can help with that!

Pros of private health insurance:

-It can cover unexpected medical costs, such as surgery, hospitalization, and other life-saving care.
