One of the needs of a person is the need to be secured throughout his life. It’s no joke to get ill or even die empty-handed, especially when you’re having a family, an income that sustains the family, and bills that causes headaches in the family.
Life insurances are contracts made to financially sustain a person in times of unexpected situations such as getting sick or death. Technically speaking, it is an agreement between the owner of the insurance and the insurer, where the insurer consent to hand down financial aid to the owner in the event that he is critically ill or dies.
In return, the owner agrees to the insurer to pay an amount (called premiums) stipulated in the contract at regular intervals or in lump of sums.
So how does it work? Simple you pay, and you are secured. It can be presented in this simple picture:
“An owner of a store plans to go abroad, and in order for someone to watch over his store, he hired a security personnel. He pays him with a specific amount, as long as he will keep watch of his store against bandits or any other urgent situations.
Even though nothing happens to the store (it was not robbed or burned by fire), the security personnel keeps the money that was paid to him, and the store owner can’t get back the money since there are no emergencies that tried to knocked out his store. It is like saying the security personnel was paid for guarding the store.”
And that’s how life insurance works. You pay the premiums, and in the event that nothing happens to you by the time of ancient age, you can’t charge your insurer to give you back the amount you paid in your early life. Remember, you paid for your protection.
Unlike other goods like clothes and food, life insurance is like buying goods but there’s no excellent at hand. You can’t see the real thing you bought, neither can you grasp and feel it. But then again, you are paying for something you can’t be assured you have in times you really need it, and that is life assurance through life insurance.
