What you need, when

20s

SOLO · RENTING

  • Tenant insurance ($15-25/mo)

30s

FAMILY · MORTGAGE

  • Term life (20-30 yr)
  • Home insurance
  • Critical illness (early = cheap)

PEAK INCOME

  • Disability (income protection)
  • Critical illness
  • Life insurance review
  • Home + auto
Income loss = bigger problem than death. Disability becomes priority.

RETIREMENT

  • Travel (senior-priced)
  • Final expense / small whole life

Term may have ended. Long-term care planning starts here.
★ COMMON MYTHS ★

3 things people get wrong

1

"My employer covers everything"

Group life is usually 1-2× salary. Most families need 7-10×. Plus, group dies when your job dies. Get personal coverage on top.

2

"Mortgage insurance from the bank is the same"

It's not. Bank mortgage life has DECLINING benefit (matches your shrinking balance) but FIXED premium. Term life pays the full amount and is portable. Math here →

3

"Provincial health covers me everywhere"

OHIP/MSP/RAMQ cover ~10% of out-of-country medical costs. A single ER visit in the US can hit $30,000+. Travel insurance is non-negotiable.
