Why You Need to Act Now

  • Life Expectancy is Rising: Singaporeans are living longer, but extended lifespans mean more years of health-related expenses. Have you factored this into your current coverage? Not doing so could erode years of savings and derail even the most carefully laid retirement plans.

  • Critical Illnesses are Expensive: Did you know that on average, patients struck with a critical illness take around 3 to 5 years to recover and return to being economically productive? This leaves many families under-prepared for long recovery periods and lead to degradation in standard of living.

  • Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones: Ensuring you are fully protected with life and critical illness insurance isn’t just about safeguarding yourself—it’s about giving your family financial security if the unexpected happens.

What Are the Essential Insurance Coverage Recommended for Working Adults?


According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Basic Financial Planning Guide2, here are the basic rules of thumb for protection that you can consider.

Whole/
Term Life Insurance

  • Provides financial support to your loved ones in case of premature death, helping them cover ongoing lifestyle expenses.
  • The coverage amount recommended is at least 9 times your annual income.

Critical Illness Insurance

  • Covers major medical costs and offers a lump sum payout to ease the financial burden of long-term recovery.
  • The coverage amount recommended is at least 4 times your annual income.


For example, someone with the median monthly income of $5,197 should be covered for death & total permanent disability to the tune of at least $561,276. This person should also be insured against critical illness for at least $249,456.

About Sherene Lua Chen Ting

From the age of 5, my childhood ambition was to become a teacher. After seven fulfilling years of shaping young minds and instilling values in primary school children, I transitioned into the finance industry. Despite the change, my core belief in education remains unwavering, now focused on the realm of FINANCIAL EDUCATION.

Seeking a happy life is a universal pursuit, often manifesting in our work, relationships, health, and wealth. This quest frequently involves decision-making, guided by fundamental questions:

  • What truly matters to me?
  • Does this align with my beliefs, thoughts, and emotions?
  • How am I managing my current and future resources?
  • Will this decision bring me closer to my goals or lead me further away?

Reflecting on these questions has been pivotal in my own decision-making journey and has guided many clients, who have become good friends, over my 13-year career in this financial planning journey.

Financial planning extends far beyond the realm of the wealthy; it's not merely about calculations or product comparisons, tasks easily handled by robo-advisors. True financial planning begins with a reflective journey, where we delve into your dreams and aspirations, setting meaningful goals. Only then do we assess your current financial standing, manage your finances, and craft a plan to realize those aspirations.

If this resonates with you, let's connect to make decisions together that your future self will truly appreciate.
