QUOTE(Cyclopes @ Mar 9 2020, 03:50 PM) If what is offered is sufficient for you or comparable if you were to purchase one for yourself; then you may not want to buy one for yourself. But the risk are if it is removed or no longer available if you were to be terminated or resign and your new company does not provide one than you may need to purchase one. But more importantly is, will your medical condition remains the same as today when you were to purchase a personal plan in later years. Medical Insurance cost goes up annually. so in other words, it will be not less cost effective for me to start later on if i do require more coverage? |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Mar 9 2020, 03:54 PM) It will be advisable to have a personal insurance at all time as companies will not cover you sufficiently (low annual limit) or you may not be covered once you resign from the company and move to another company that may/may not offer an insurance coverage. how much does it cost for a medical insurance?A personal insurance will have a higher annual limit and a more comprehensive coverage that covers you up to 100 years old. how much coverage should i be looking at? |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Mar 9 2020, 04:39 PM) Insurance will not be cheaper overtime even if you choose to delay your purchase now as the premium will hike up in the future to match your age. on average is how much? I am 31 btw. Male - non smoking.Instead, you should buy as early as you’re still insurance. That depends on your budget as well as your selection of your room and board, whether you want to afford to stay at least in a 2 bedded room or single bedded or etc. |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Jun 13 2020, 02:05 PM) No, it means that estimated years the policy may last provided no increase in price. If there is a revision, then the premium payable will need to be increased as well. Meaning your 300 monthly may not stay as 300 over 10 years if there is an increase then maybe you need to top up to 350 for example what do you think about the sustainability if I opt to top up one lump sum of lets say RM 2k to lengthen the sustainability rather than having a higher premium of RM 50 per month for the next 40 years.this would be a good idea? |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Jun 15 2020, 03:00 PM) Yeah you can do so, it's called a single premium top-up. but again still there is no guarantee right as in if i do a single top-up but the sustainability may still drop maybe due to medical costs going up or the ILP part not doing well....No right and wrong whether to do it as a regular or single top-up. As long as you know that doing such top up is to lengthen your policy sustainability. There is a complaint email address that insurance company would have. Another add-on is to CC Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) for this matter. They will start to do their things very fast what would be your best advice?> |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Jun 15 2020, 03:05 PM) No one can guarantee their prices. Just like your Fish Seller at Market can't guarantee the fish price stays the same next 20 years. alright thanks for the advice.Just get the necessary insurance coverage you need. Let the investment worry itself. The insurance company has shown their worse and best scenario and it's usually 2 - 3 years difference. 2% return by the insurance company is very achievable. Cheers. |
