A Very Affordable Ease of Mind


Question 1: Do you have RM50,000 for an emergency? (eg. hospitalized, cancer, accidents)



Question 2: Can you save RM3.00 a day?



If your answer is NO for the first question and YES for the second, then I will be glad to inform you that I will be able to help you make Question 1 a YES for you.

It's not expensive to own an insurance.

Financially, we need to put our money into 3 components:

Savings
Protection
Investments



The financial gurus say that you should save 10% of your net income (after you have spent on what is necessary).

Then you need to protect your finances for your outstanding loans, dependant family, children, spouse and many other money-sucking activities.

Finally, you are asked to put whatever little EXTRA you have left into investments to GROW your money wisely. Money put into a savings account is meant for cases of emergency. But even so, not everyone can save RM2,000 a month.

A simple food poisoning, which you end up in a private hospital for 3 days, will cost you RM2,000.

Insurance can help you save. When you 'save' RM3.00 a day, you are giving yourself RM50,000 to handle situations where we usually end up asking "WHY, GOD? WHY ME?".

Compare saving RM3.00 in the bank and RM3.00 with me...

RM3.00 a day in a bank will give you about RM15.00 interest a year. If you are hospitalised, you might have RM12,000 to spare, after 5 years.

RM3.00 a day with me will give you RM50,000 immediately when in hospital or if you're diagnosed with cancer.

How many people you know have or knows someone who has cancer?

I can name 3 offhand.
