My new "Cash Critical Illness" coverage

 1. Today I signed to takeover the 2 resale insurance; mainly TI11 & TI12.


2. At INCOME Branch, I tallied and confirmed the Policies Cash Values are as sold to me.

3. Interestingly, both policies are not endowments, but someone's wholelife policies,
They started at their ages 13 & 21 on 2005 & 2006 respectively.

4. It was the first time buying someone's wholelife policies.  

The irony:
I surrendered both my PrudLink and Manulife Estate Protector policies as my own CI will expire by my age 63 in a few years' time. 

Yet now, I buy someone's much younger wholelife policies which have breakeven.  I buy their wholelife which have Cash Values to form my Cash CI which covers me from now and beyond.

5.  Both policies have guaranteed surrendered value upon maturity payout in 8~9years (Xirr: 5%)

6. In 2032/33, age 67/68,
Total premiums paid $55.2k,
Total combined guaranteed maturity payout = $81.7k. (XIRR =5%.)

7. While it was guaranteed upto my age 67/68, they are lifetime wholelife policies.

8. Both actually continue beyond my age 68, up to the Assured age 63; by then I am age 84.
His age upon policy matured: 63yo
I am age 84 yo in 2048!

~~~~

9. These two policies serve many purposes to me.

* They are my Critical Illness $$ which I can surrender anytime I need, without any early or late stage sickness.

* They are my Emergency Cash, which I can surrender anytime I wish.

* During my youth, my purchased wholelife insurance Critical Illness would have expired at age ~60.

* Cheapest CI premium through Mindef-Aviva Living Care policy, which is also expensive ~$1k p.a. for $100k assured.  And max coverage only upto age 70 at escalating annual premium.

* These 2 Resale Wholelife insurance become my "CI policies".

Can you follow my thought ?

[Not able to attach my chart]

1. Put aside $25k sum to pay for my annual premium of $1,483 x 17 (for age 60 to 77).

2. After that, I can choose to surrender at age 77, to cashout $130k lump sum, if I wish. No question asked. 

Caveat: I trust INCOME will keep their Surrender Value (SV).

~~~~~

The bigger picture:
if I can buy another 3 more resale wholelife policies, I would have build up an emergency fund of $130k x 3 = $390k at age 77; (putting aside $25k x 3 = $75k lump sum as annual premiums for age 60 to age 77).

Confused you already?

Consideration for MY property Purchase

Consideration for MY property Purchase 1.  Avoid mixed devt; it is difficult to demarcate Hotel, Residential & Mall for Strata Title issue.  Best choice is JB (& Melaka) as more food choices & rentals. (KL & Penang are too far for me to travel, although it's property may have good return value. Need MM2H or else need to return home monthly to renew Visa extension.) 2. Before Strata Title issue, Unit has to pay State Consent every 2-year @RM5k (recently raised from RM3k) to keep unit ownership interim.  When purchasing, bargain for one time payment for State Consent; no need renewal. But easily than said, Developer may not warrant it after 3-year Latent Defect Period (LDP). Not even through legal statements, unless it's first State Consent Certificate does not have expiry date.   Earlier year, new property buy may have such privileges such as Deferred Interest Bearing Scheme (DIBS) loan absorption by developer during construction phrase; so one doesn't

Can retire with $1k monthly? got bluff me?

  Someone who is my cohort just retired last year.  He candidly shared that his average monthly expenses is less than $1000. Some background that I gathered: 1.  Married with a working adult child. 2.  Stay in condo; ever spinned n profited from few property sales. 3.  Still need to support aged parent with 4 siblings. 4. No car. So I did some quick calculation to see sure or not to retire with $1k monthly expenses. Think his $1k p.m. is thin retirement. Utility & PS, water : $100 p.m. Telco: $20 p.m.  MCST: $200 p.m. (where got so low maintenance?) Medishieldlife: $800 / 12= $66 p.m. (can pay by CPF-MA) H&S Shield Plan: $1200 / 12 = $100 p.m. (excluded $680 deducted from MA) Support his parents: $2000/5 = $400. Basic fixed monthly overhead:  100+20+200+100 + 400 = $820 With just $1000 p.m., net available for meal = $1000 - $820 = $180 p.m. (or $6 per day) Not forgetting that he just retired, he need to fully pay his last year personal income tax. ------ In summary, my assessme

Buying insurance for Children

During my time as first-time parent, we are blur blur general direction in investment and protection.  That was in the last 90s then. We bought whole life insurance (dont know and dont care about ilp or tradition); at that time, no one talked much about Term insurance.  No such things as TermLife. And... my monthly pay was less than $2,000. And CPF did  not allow topup to child SA.  I remembered that this was introduced in 2013 under a "Others" category.   I quickly made my first $10k topup to their CPF SA, each to my child; over n over the next decade.  At that time, one kid had yet even had her nric; hence I wouldn't check if the cheque topup into the CPF SA was really deposited.    Very chuang. Do make your own decision, I am no insurance agent. If I were you, I would do this: Pt1: Your child has to be covered under both parents' Company Dependents Health Benefits.  First basic protection from Day 1 till their age 21.  (Caveat: Buy when no medical loading.
