Many people believe that life and health insurance are things to consider later in life. But the truth is, the earlier you plan, the better protected you are.
❌ Myth: "I’m young and healthy, I don’t need insurance."
âś… Reality: Accidents and illnesses can happen at any age. Getting insured while you're healthy
means lower premiums and better coverage.
❌ Myth: "I don’t have dependents, so I don’t need life insurance."
âś… Reality: Life insurance can protect you from debts, future family planning, and even serve as
an investment tool.
❌ Myth: "I can always get insurance later."
âś… Reality: As you age, premiums increase, and medical conditions may make it harder to
qualify for coverage.
Insurance isn’t about today—it’s about securing your future while it’s affordable and accessible.
Many assume insurance is an unnecessary expense, but in reality, it’s an investment in financial security.
❌ Myth: "Insurance is too expensive."
âś… Reality: The cost of being uninsured during a medical emergency or unexpected event is far
greater than the cost of monthly premiums.
❌ Myth: "I have savings, so I don’t need insurance."
âś… Reality: A single hospital stay, critical illness, or unexpected loss can wipe out years of
savings in an instant.
❌ Myth: "Life insurance is only for after I die."
âś… Reality: Many policies offer living benefits, investment growth, and financial security during
your lifetime.
A small cost today prevents major financial loss in the future.
While Canada offers universal healthcare, it doesn’t cover everything. Private insurance fills critical gaps.
❌ Myth: "I don’t need extra coverage because healthcare is free in Canada."
✅ Reality: Government healthcare doesn’t cover prescription drugs, dental, vision, or certain
specialist treatments.
❌ Myth: "I rarely visit the doctor, so I don’t need health insurance."
âś… Reality: Unexpected health issues, chronic conditions, or emergencies can happen anytime.
❌ Myth: "My employer provides health benefits, so I’m covered."
âś… Reality: Employer coverage often has limitations and ends if you switch jobs or retire.
Private health insurance ensures you have access to faster care, better treatment options, and financial security in case of medical emergencies.
Many people think insurance is something to buy once they have a high income, but waiting can be costly.
❌ Myth: "I’ll get insurance when I start earning more."
âś… Reality: Insurance rates are based on age and health. Waiting means higher premiums and
possible denial due to medical conditions.
❌ Myth: "I don’t own a home or have major assets, so I don’t need life insurance."
✅ Reality: Life insurance covers student loans, personal debts, and can secure your family’s
future even if you don’t own property yet.
❌ Myth: "Insurance is only for married people with kids."
âś… Reality: Even single individuals need coverage to protect their future, pay off debts, and
cover medical expenses.
Your future self will thank you for locking in coverage while it’s affordable and accessible.
