I am a young, single businessman. Should I take an endowment plan?
As a young entrepreneur, you may not immediately need an endowment plan. A person who has dependent family members, specially children, definitely needs an endowment plan. With rising costs of living and education, it makes a lot of sense to build up a fund for the future expenses of the children. Also, if the policyholder who is also the breadwinner of the family happens to die, the endowment plan will ensure that the dependent family members are taken care of, financially.
My house is mortgaged. Is it a good idea to take an endowment plan?
For years, people around the world have purchased endowment plans to pay off mortgages. If you have a mortgage, it makes a lot of sense to buy an endowment policy, as you can plan your savings and build up a fund in time to pay off the mortgage and claim your house back.
I am a new dad who has just started working. Should I take an endowment plan immediately?
Yes, as a parent you must take the endowment plan as early as possible. The sooner you buy an endowment plan, the more time you have to build a fund up and it proves to be less taxing for you as well.
