FRIDAY FINANCIAL TIP
Before buying insurance, ask these 5 questions:
1. "Ano EXACTLY ang covered?"
(Death? Critical illness? Disability? Accidents? Be specificโgeneral answers aren't enough.)
2. "Hanggang kailan ang coverage?"
(10 years? 20 years? Lifetime? Until what age? Know the timeline.)
3. "Magkano EXACTLY ang babayaran ko monthly?"
(All-in cost, including fees. No "estimate lang"โget the exact number.)
4. "Ano mangyayari if I miss a payment?"
(Grace period? Automatic lapse? Reinstatement options? Know your safety net.)
5. "Pwede ko ba i-cancel? May makukuha ba ako?"
(Surrender value? Cash value? Penalties? Exit strategy matters.)
If the agent can't answer these clearly:
๐ฉ RED FLAG. Walk away.
If the agent says "trust me lang":
๐ฉ๐ฉ BIGGER RED FLAG. Run.
Your money. Your family. Your questions deserve CLEAR answers.
A good advisor welcomes questions.
A bad one avoids them.
