Life insurance means that you have to contribute your premium until you die or a fixed tenure that is very long. This will be expensive for the insured. The part of the life insurance premium paid towards risk coverage is an expense. However, the quantum of financial risk mitigated by these policies are much more than these expenses.

The beneficiary may decide to waste the amount they receive. The beneficiary may not use the funds as it was intended leading to wastage of the sum insured. Many life insurance policies keep on changing. In such policies, the premium amount is low during the initial years. However, the premium amount do not remain constant. They keep changing with time. You may be required to pay more premium as you grow older than when you were young. Having it doesn’t necessarily mean better quality of life. Life insurance may mean poor quality of life to be able to pay the premium. The deduction may be too many. There are so many complex insurance policies.

Similarly, there are some ‘not so simple’ insurance policies that is beyond the understanding capability of a common man. Hence, it can be a very daunting task to choose the right life policy. The investment is not highly paying. Life insurance is primarily an instrument to cover risk. The investment function is of secondary nature. Unlike other types of investment that have high returns, life insurance does not give high returns. Hence, people seeking high return on their investment may not find it attractive for investment. Conclusion Life insurance is not complicated to buy for most of the people. The only vital part of it is to ensure that you have enough information about your policy.
