Your Questions Answered: I am a freelance photographer, should I still invest in insurance products?
Live MintI am a freelance photographer in Mumbai. Alternately, you may choose guaranteed income products where you continue to pay premiums for a limited term, and then receive guaranteed payout periodically for a predetermined period – say, 25-30 years, and return of premium with the last income payout to meet your financial needs post retirement. These products also offer a life insurance cover, so you can ensure financial security for the family in your absence. To arrive at the amount of term insurance cover, you may consider a few important factors like your current income, expected liabilities & expenses, policy tenure, etc. I would also recommend you to consider opting for new age benefits like premium holiday, early exit at age 60, and increasing cover with changing life stage needs.
