I don't need life insurance cover

If you think you have enough money to take care of your financial liabilities and the needs of your dependents, you can think of getting rid of your insurance covers

I am 35 years old. If I have accumulated 25 times of my take home salary or 40 times of my yearly expenditure, do I need a life insurance cover? I don t see any need. I have a few life insurance covers. I think I should close them.

If you believe you have enough money to take care of your financial liabilities and the needs of your dependents, you can think of getting rid of your insurance covers. If you have ULIPs or Endowment plans, you should look at their current status and find out how much money you will lose if you stop the policy. You should also consider the taxation angle. If you are okay with the monetary loss, you can go ahead with your plan.
