I think you pretty much covered your risk portion.
moving forward, i think if you're comfortable, the next step is to plan for your next mile stone which is buying a house and then children and retirement.

$220 a month is pretty affordable but you have to note that it is a term plan, that will cover till 65.. you'll still need something that goes beyond to whole life..

buy term insurance. it is cheaper and offers higher coverage. and as someone mentioned, it is convertible to whole life if you so wish (depends on provider)

ilp, whole life, etc you are just paying your agent's commission - up to 50% of your premium goes to them. so your coverage is low and the amount that actually goes into "investment" is also low. that's why you have to wait 40-50 yrs to break even - before taking into account inflation. you get better returns on FD!

so don't bother with this surrender value, cash value nonsense. buy insurance for the coverage and peace of mind and not to save/make money. do your own savings/investment plan.

Tan Kin Lian's Blog: Term insurance - buy directly

get quotes online or from IFAs so you can compare quotes from different providers:
Term Insurance - Bespoke Wealth Management
Life Insurance Quote - sgPlan
Life Insurance « Best Insurance Quotes Singapore

IFAs:
IPP Financial Advisers Private Limited
finexis

I support Buy term , invest the rest.

However, some people are just really not that suitable for this type, therefore sometimes lifeinsurance will do them better in a way :s12:

Whatever the decision is, think and plan wisely.

Yes i agree but if you have children(best is below 5 years old) or new born baby i strongly suggest you to buy WHOLELIFE INSURANCE..as their preimum is lower..although its 15 or 20 year it will really benfit them in long terms

none taken la bro lol..
I understand your point of view, in deed you are a very responsible chap kudos with that..

Not many people have your thinking in terms of transferring risk for a small portion of their income.

It is respectable and commendable i must say that you understand this point.

However, there is a limit of protection that you buy with money before it becomes a bit too much.

I would rather you use the money, come up with a war chest and make it work harder. You can start with simple ILP stuff with single premium cpf first to get a sense of investing, attach a CI/ECC rider to it and let it pay by itself - top up when you feel that you have extra..

When the time comes you can draw out the bonus and use it to pamper your love ones..

Although i understand kiasi but also must enjoy abit mah lol.. don't so paranoid not good for health bro. :s13:

Im not recommending based upon a commission earn by an agent because single premium CPF is only 1.76%.. I just don't like the idea of forced savings that can see cannot touch and still lose 2.5% each year.. lol

Think of it as a stored value credit where you might lose your income though many people think investment and protection should be separate but in my view.. most people think about now when they are actively earning a positive income to supplement their protection however when **** hits the fan and retrenchment starts.. at least you can go on a premium holiday and still get covered with your stored value which you could prepay in the good days with your bonus..

plus the value grows over time or you can just do a fund switch to a more profitable fund when the time calls for it.

for those who needs CI plans, GE has a plan (named EPCC) that covers early stages of CI as well. claims are progressive if your CI is on an early stage. your premiums are firstly waived, but the plan continues. since it is a health plan, obviously no savings element is involved. but if your CI worsens, you can proceed to make your claim again.

however do note that if your CI reached intermediate stage and you have made claim, and if good news come to you saying your CI is now on the road to recovery (lets say you recover from intermediate to early stage), then of course you cant make early stage claim. it must be progressive then you can make multiple claims.

Stay away from whole life insurance (use term life) and don't listen to what insurance salesmen say because their commission is more important than 'helping' you. Opps... Too late.

I think it really depends on how old your gal is to know whether it is recommended to have such planning.

Buy a proper term insurance and invest the difference in STI ETF/low cost funds (<1% admin fees)/blue chip stocks. Why would anybody settle for poor yield (2-3%pa) compared to (5-9% on open market), have their money lock in for 35 years, which only breaks even after 25 years? Question the 'Effect of deductions" on all insurances.
