I was wondering, in the next 20 yrs, how much will the buying power be for the current value of
CI 50k, R&B 300, TPD 10k.
The hospitalizations cost maybe enough,... What abt life after hospitalization ?
thinking about this "Next" 20 years,...
unknown to how much the current premium could have risen by then, (currently it increases at a rate of about 7~10% pa or more??)
unknown to how much she will earn,
unknown to where she will work or stay, (she could have migrate to China

)
unknown to the capability of her to sustain paying for the policy
unknown to whether she will be covered by the employer,...(she may be a Specialist Doctor in a private hospital

)
for me, i would not want to possibly "burden" her with the premium payment when she starts to work (unknown to her earning power) while i am retired with no income to continue to pay for her premium, the premium of my spouse and mine too
thus i just bought some medical insurance that can cover the cost of her hospitalization so as not to "eat" into my retirement savings,
for my income, i could afford about RM300k premium....(what are the chances of medical cost needing RM1mil annual limits, and if needed RM 1mil hospitalization cost....what will the end results of her?...will she be too weak to have a normal life for the rest of her life already)
with my current capability, i would prefer to use the saving saved (from "expensive" insurance coverage) for her education saving plan.....so that her education cost will not "eat" into my retirement plan too...(she will need it in 10 years time)
well, the rest,...just leave it to GOD...."we plan, but GOD decides"
