Can Your Family Survive Financially Without You?

BY Team Loanstreet

Updated 07 Dec 2022




Whether you’re a sole breadwinner or one of the contributors who provide everyday needs for the family (food, clothing or education), please give yourself a pat on the back. You’re doing a very COMMENDABLE job!

But, have you ever thought about what will happen when you lose your capacity to provide for the family? For instance, when you become disabled (touch wood), who can your family rely on? When you’re no longer able to work because of severe sickness (touch wood), who’ll cover your family expenses? Or when you die unexpectedly (touch wood), can your family sustain?


 

What's covered in this article?


We already know that life is INEVITABLE. And, you can only earn as much (or little) as you possibly can to support your family. So, why are so many of us are still not prepared for the rainy days?

According to a statement made by Bank Negara Malaysia, only 36.5% of the total population owns at least one individual life insurance or family takaful plan. This is said to be very low compared with the government’s target of 75% by 2020.
 

We want to find out if it’s TRUE. Help us?

To debunk or gain new data about Malaysians’ preparations for rainy days, we’ve collaborated with our friends at Prudential and come out with “I Cover You" survey. Besides helping us out, you could also take this survey as a self-check, just to see if your family is doing alright financially when you’re no longer around. We never know. So, click on the ORANGE BUTTON below to take the survey and tell us how are you doing financially at your current age.
