    I have both life and health insurance, however, the neccessary one should be the health insurance as this can be a good safeguard once you get older and face uncertainty in the future. From national statistics, cancer is top illness with high cost that one might be able to cover, so this insurance will definitely imsure yoyr life and no meed to worry on making big saving.

    I have a Medishield Life/ Integrated Shield Plan from ntuc and a Whole Life insurance plan from GE. Integrated Shield Plan is a must as it's a basic hospitalization insurance plan that is important when we need to pay any medical bill. To me, Whole Life insurance is more like a savings plan and I recommend Term Life insurance for people who are interested in getting a life insurance plan.

    Insurance is an essential part of my financial portfolio. It is an important safety net to protect/safeguard my wealth, to give me peace of mind, in case of unforeseen events. I chose to be insured early in my career, with Whole Life Insurance Policies covering Death/TPD/CI, to secure a basic level of coverage first. What I like about the policies: forced monthly savings plan, lower premiums, the basic sum assured will grow overtime with bonus, options to convert it into fully paid or into an annuity for retirement, premium till age 85 and covered for life, or surrender anytime if I need the monies.
    With the government's initiatives, I also have hospitalisation/health insurance (Medishield Life with ISP B), long-term care insurance (Eldershield, not converting to Careshield Life) and longevity insurance in future (CPF Life). These are the Basic/Mandatory 3 Lifes!
    Depending on your life stage and dependents you have, it is good to have Life Insurance (death/TDP/CI). Others are considered optional.

    Hospitalisation plan is most important and useful to all as medical fees are getting higher. Private insurance plan is recommended to be purchased on top of MediShield

    Hospitalisaion, Critical Illness.

    Hospitalisation is definitely a must. Critical Illness which gets more expensive as one aged, really depends on how much you have or need

    I currently have life insurance, accident insurance and endowment retirement plan.
    I feel that the important thing about insurance is that it need to cover you when you are older, so use the time when you are still active and strong to buy more insurance and plan for your retirement.
    Tips: it is never early to start planning for retirement.

    I have protection insurances first before moving on to getting wealth building insurances. And we should always use 15% of our income to get insurances.
