The biggest mistake because it comes to buying insurance, especially life insurance is to see it as an investment. Clubbing insurance and investment in one product is a bad idea. Beware of agents who want to talk you into buying unnecessary policies such as life insurance for the child, the credit card insurance, unemployment insurance and so on. Instead of buying a separate insurance for active or specific incidents seek policies that cover a range of possible events within the same coverage. Whenever possible, choose the drivers that make sense, instead of buying them separately. Unless there is a good chance of an event happening that you do not need insurance for it. For example, unless you are very prone to accidents and disability due to their nature of work or other reasons that do not need accident insurance. A good life insurance policy with the driver of the accidental death or pilot renunciation premium or disability income rider will do the job.

2. Understand Product features and fees

If you buy online in the case of life insurance, tell the agent that you are only interested in term insurance.
