The young earning population or the millennial face dilemma about quite a few choices they have to make; such as spend or save, save or invest, where to invest, how much to invest and for how long and many such questions pose before them.
Where to start from and how to build up their financial life is a challenge they face and likewise, another dilemma they face is whether to invest or insure first?
This is not really a question of choice as both are paramount in one’s financial life. It is best to allocate the savings to provide for both. Having said that, when it is about savings being limited and having to make a choice, it is insurance that they must give priority to.
Insurance forms the base for any form of financial planning and without adequate life & health covers, any financial plan can fall apart. Also, at young age, these insurance covers come very cheap and having them in place is the right thing to do.
