The business of insurance is sustained by a complex system of risk analysis. Generally, this analysis involves anticipating the likelihood of a particular loss and charging enough in the premiums to guarantee that insured losses can be paid to property holders when a loss is incurred. From the insured point of view, the individual/company is managing risk that cannot be avoided. You could die, the house can burn down, your salary could stop, etc. Whenever you decide not to seek cover for loss or harm, you are gambling that you/you family/your business will survive the odds that are contained in risk analysis science. That your assessment of risk is preferred to calculated risk, based on actual experience and personal profiling. The practice of appraising and controlling risk has evolved over time for one primary reason: avoiding, mitigating and transferring certain risk creates greater predictability for individuals and businesses that allows people and organizations to use the existence of risk more consciously and intelligently to maximize their opportunities, both economically/financially and in terms of securing peace of mind.
There are very good reasons why the issue of insurance should be at the forefront of mind and not as an option to ignore or postpone.
Just consider if you had passed away last night, what financial crises would your family face this morning? Even in death, you are honour bound to protect those you have left behind - especially your family.
It is accepted that whoever creates a debt, must ensure that the debt dies with him or her. In other words, your assets should be available unencumbered, to your Beneficiaries. The most important asset of course, is the family home and your family must be able to live in it, debt free and for as long as they wish.
When you die, your income ceases immediately - forever. Will your family survive without your income? If not, life insurance will ensure that all or part of it is replaced to educate your children, pay the bills that continue, even though you are no longer there, (and that is most of them), give your family options that would not exist if they had not money. There is no dignity in having to ask for financial help - insurance will provide that dignity for your inheritors.
Critical Illness Insurance

And would it not be a relief to rid yourself of debt, if you were told you had Cancer? Critical Illness insurance gives you this option.
