There is a reason for this. Lets take a worse case scenario. You are employed with IBM at the age of 33 and have signed up for life insurance thru your employer for an additional $1M (term) which costs you around say $400 per year when compared to $500 per year from either AXA or Metlife. Since your employer quote is less... you opted that. >>> True. also what i heard is, the additional insurance that we buy from companies is not tax free, whereas from some private veondors like northwest, it is tax free |

Cylonesubbarao:And one more IMPORTANT THING. Don't prefer insurance options from your employer. Usually basic 50/100 K insurance will be free from your company. Take that basic one... which won't cost you anything. Buy insurance from vendors such as Metlife, AXA etc. There is a reason for this. Lets take a worse case scenario. You are employed with IBM at the age of 33 and have signed up for life insurance thru your employer for an additional $1M (term) which costs you around say $400 per year when compared to $500 per year from either AXA or Metlife. Since your employer quote is less... you opted that. After being with them for 8 years lets assume your company downsized and you were let go. So you have to buy a new insurance again from outside which will cost you fortunes to buy insurance at that age.

Ideally speaking it is always advisable to take insurance before turning 35 years mark. Premium rates will shoot up from this age onwards apart from other factors. >>> yes, becoz before they give insurance, they will do medical checks. 35 dhaatithey, guluG laaga anni problems untaayi gaa  |

Cylonesubbarao:Insurance lo different varieties unnayi. 1. Regular Life Insurance 2. Term Insurance 3. Equitable Insurance (each company has its own naming term for this type) 1. Regular life insurance is you sign up for a certain dollar amount say $1M or $0.5M and you will be provided a monthly quote which will not change till maturity of that policy. Meaning... you will have a FIXED PREMIUM 2. Term insurance as the name suggests its for a fixed period of time. Meaning... you purchase insurance in blocks say for 5 years. You premium is not fixed but will change either every year or every block (5 years) depends on company to company. In term insurance your premium will be less. SO if you start at 35 years age... then you will have a 5 year term insurance meaning 35-40 years age a certain price and then for next block 40-45 years block you will have a different price quote. 3. Finally EQUITABLE INSURANCE. This is like you put a fixed amount for next 7-8 years and then you are covered for your life. Whatever you have put investment will be used by company as an investment on funds and the returns from them will be paid back to your account again.... thus avoiding you to pay premiums for rest of your life. In short... these are the 3 types that I know.
I think I am going for Regular then. Do you recommend any particular company to go with. |

I took life insurance in 2001. ikkada oka desi gaadu unnaadu, so vaadi dwaara theesukunna. nenu 500k ki, my wife 500k ki theesukunnam. this is Life insurance, as well as kids educational expenses for future. details sarigaa gurthu levu, but this is how it works we pay about 300 dollars per month, which will give us insurance. After 5 yrs, you will be breakeven, meaning if you want to withdraw your money, you get all your money back, without any penalty. From 6th year onwards, for every 3600 we pay per year, the company matches about 2000,3000,3500 etc etc from year 7, 8th and so on. When the kids becomes 18, we have about enough money to cover expenses for the 4 yr college. All this money is tax free. ofcourse, this is definitely not the best investment option, but atleast you have the insurance all these years. Many of us have free insurance from company, usually 2 times the salary. we can pay about 15 dollars per month, to increase it to 4 times salary. on a different note,The most important thing is, having a written will in usa. In some states, if both parents die, the state may take the kid |

Bhadri:Even I am looking for Life insurance. In US it is going to cost more, so I am thinking to take it in India. I saw this Sun Life Birla , you need to pay Rs 10 lakhs per annum for three years and they would cover for Rs 4crores/99 years and they will put the money in market or 6lakhs/annum * 3 years=2crores coverage/99 years. Their 1st year commission would be 5% and next two years 2%.
You are talking about ULIPs. It is a bad idea to mix insurance with investment. I already kind of did this mistake...by putting some money in ICICI Pru Life. Anyway no regrets.. For now I am just looking for Life Insurance Options in the US of A...that too only Term. |
