Everyone wants to be financially successful and protect their assets. The most important asset for each person is themselves - their health, life and ability to earn income. However, most people fail to properly insure themselves against critical risks like death, disability, illness or loss of income. It is important to have life insurance of 10 times annual income, disability insurance of the same amount, health insurance of 50% annual income or minimum of Rs. 3-5 lacs, and an emergency fund of 6 months expenses. Properly insuring oneself provides critical financial protection and acts as a foundation for building future financial success and security.
