To invest or protect?

by specky on September 28, 2009



If you had some extra cash in hand right now, where would you put your money – to invest or to protect? The two choices seem difficult choices for some because they view protection in the form of insurance policies just as important as having your money work for you through investment vehicles.

How do you prioritise between the two? Well there’s really no one correct answer to this, unfortunately. Because this is all about your individual choice and the circumstance of your own lifestyle. So to those who have earlier asked the question, I have to say I can’t really help you out with this tip. You have to weigh how best your money can work for you.

As for me, at this current point in time I will prefer to invest it. But that’s based on the fact that I do have some basic policy in place. For those who are at a later stage of life, you may just want to check out the life insurance rates that you will incur when buying a policy just to see if it’s worth while because it gets more expensive if you have not already bought any.

Whether to protect or to invest, I feel that people should start young. Education on these financial planning should really begin earlier in a person’s life and not left till premiums get more expensive and it’s harder to buy affordable insurance plans.
