How Much Insurance should one Buy ?

Image
In our previous blog , we gave an example where the assumed gentlemen had taken an Insurance of 1 crore. It is natural that most of would think why such an H U G E amount of insurance? Because most of us think of Insurance as "sum that will be paid to you by LIC on Maturity" and hence think such huge amount is only for ultra-rich people. Through this blog, we would like to clarify on this erroneous thinking. Also, let our readers know how much they should cover themselves with?  The Maths  -  This is how the average financial scorecard of Middle class looks like  - Part A - Sum of all the loans that we have comes to about 50 lacs.  Part B - If we assume that "with no loans" & "an Own house", Rs 25k monthly is fair enough to maintain and run life on good standard of living. If we want this income for the next 20 Years (time taken for your kid to grow and contribute to expenses.), then we need to make a one-time investment of 60 lacs
