Time flies. 2020 will be ending really soon. Before it’s too late, take some time to reflect on how the year has been for you. For many of us, 2020 has been one of the most disruptive years to date, with a series of unprecedented events, such as the Australian bushfires, COVID-19 pandemic and greatest economic recession since the 1930s Great Depression.
Well, that’s life, where you are bound to meet challenges along the way. While you can’t control the occurrence of such events, you can protect yourself from life’s uncertainties with life insurance. Here’s why December is a good time to get some life insurance before the new year arrives!
1. Last month to work on that new year resolution before the year ends
At the start of the year, you would probably have set New Year resolutions, like keeping fit or growing your wealth for retirement. Instead of failing to accomplish your goals (once again), it’s not too late to work on that new year resolution this December.
There is a common misconception that buying life insurance may add on to your financial burden and prevent you from saving more money. However, you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow with life being so unpredictable. Should anything unfortunate happen in the future, buying adequate protection can actually lift the financial burden off your shoulders and those of your loved ones.

2. Get some potential income tax relief for the year
In case you didn’t know, you can claim tax relief for annual premiums paid on your life insurance policies. Of course, this is provided you meet conditions set by our tax authority – IRAS. More details can be found here.
Purchasing a life plan not only offers you life protection, but will also potentially cut your upcoming tax bill!
3. Enjoy lower life insurance premium before your next birthday
Did you know that life insurance is cheaper when you are younger? This is because you are at higher risks for more health problems as you age and that could affect your life insurance premium.
Simply put, some of the key factors that determine the amount of insurance premium depends on your existing health condition and age. Therefore, the earlier you buy that life insurance policy, the higher your chance of enjoying a lower premium!

4. Make better use of your year-end bonus
As we enter one of the largest economic recession in history, many companies may not be paying any bonuses this year-end to their employees. If you are fortunate enough to be working in one of the thriving industries and still able to receive a year-end bonus, congratulations! Don’t let that go to waste.
It’s wise to secure your life protection with a term life or whole life insurance plan especially when we live in some uncertain times. Make better use of the extra cash by buying essential protection, so you can have greater peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are financially secured should life uncertainties struck.
Besides protection for total and permanent disabilities and critical illnesses, you will also be eligible for cash value and reversionary bonus accumulation if you buy a whole life plan. Alternatively, you can also get more out of your spare cash through one of our insurance savings plans as they include life protection elements.
Of course, Don’t just buy any life insurance. Do your due diligence, look for an insurer with strong financial strength and an established history of serving life customers, like Etiqa Insurance.
