Is life insurance only for wealthy people?

Insurance is most relevant where a household cannot easily absorb a large loss. The appropriate premium is one that protects an important gap without making monthly cash flow unstable.

What to check

Start with the smallest critical obligation, compare pure protection with savings-linked plans and test whether the premium remains affordable in a difficult month.

What could change the answer

Specific ‘small premium, huge cover’ examples depend on age, health, term and underwriting. Treat them as quotations only when issued for you in writing.

A practical next step

Set a sustainable ceiling, request two or three like-for-like quotations and prioritise essential protection before optional features.
