7 Average Premium and Importance of Review

Many Japanese people pay an average of 382,000 yen a year for life insurance.

It's a surprisingly large amount, isn't it?

Certainly, it is important to be prepared in case of emergency.

But do you really need all of that insurance?

In fact, there are many cases where you are paying unnecessary insurance premiums.

Here, we will delve into the reality of insurance premiums and the need for review.

・ The reality of Japanese insurance premiums

According to a nationwide survey, the average premium is 382,000 yen per year.

This is a considerable burden on the household.

Especially for those who are enrolled in the Employees' Pension Service, monthly premiums of 5,000 yen or more can be a burden.

Have you ever felt that your monthly insurance premiums are squeezing your household?

There is actually a possibility that this amount can be greatly reduced by reviewing it.

Are you paying unnecessary insurance premiums?

Insurance is to buy safety.

But if you take out more insurance than you need, your money keeps disappearing.

In particular, it is inefficient to pay high premiums for risks that rarely occur.

If you cut down on unnecessary premiums, you can turn them into savings and investments.

To manage your money wisely, let's first check the contents of your insurance.

2 Consider the balance between savings and insurance

If you rely too much on insurance, you lose flexibility in your household.

By reviewing the balance between savings and insurance, you can see how to use money wisely.

Here, we will organize the risks that should be covered by savings and the situations where insurance is necessary.

Would you like to review how you spend your money?

Risks that can be covered by savings

It is wise to deal with events that rarely happen with savings.

For example, medical expenses for minor illnesses and injuries.

Public health insurance in Japan is substantial, so if you have savings, you can cover it well.

It is more reasonable to increase savings and respond flexibly than to pay insurance premiums.

Let's start preparing to use money freely.

・ The case where insurance is necessary

On the other hand, insurance is effective for large risks.

When the main pillar of the family dies, the life of the family changes greatly.

There are cases where you are liable for high compensation in a traffic accident.

The risk of a house burning down in a fire is also a life-changing event.

The trick is to use insurance to focus on such big risks.

Select the 3 insurance policies you really need

Not all insurance is necessary.

If you choose carefully, three insurances will cover you well.

Here's the insurance that you need for your child rearing household, someone who drives a car, or someone who owns a home.

Let's take a look at how to eliminate waste and prepare wisely together.

The value of life insurance.

For families raising children, life insurance is a strong ally.

If something happens to the main pillar of the family, you can protect the life of the family.

It is attractive that insurance premiums are cheap and you can join only for the necessary period.

To protect the future of your family, this insurance is worth considering.

Think about what your family needs.

How to choose car insurance

If you drive a car, car insurance is required.

In particular, the point is to choose unlimited compensation for interpersonal and objective purposes.

If you cause serious damage to the other party in the accident, the compensation amount may be tens of millions of yen.

Let's not be stingy here and prepare well.

In order to drive with peace of mind, please check the compensation contents now.

The need for fire insurance.

For homeowners, fire insurance is essential.

The risk of a fire may be small, but the loss when it occurs is immeasurable.

If a house burns down, not only will you lose your place to live, but the cost of rebuilding will also be a big burden.

Fire insurance will protect you from such risks.

4 Points to Identify Unnecessary Insurance

Many insurance policies are actually unnecessary.

Continuing to pay unnecessary insurance premiums is a waste of money.

Here, we will explain the points to identify unnecessary insurance.

Let's think together about your insurance, which one you really need.

Do you really need medical insurance?

Japan's public health insurance system is one of the most comprehensive in the world.

In most cases, the cost of hospitalization and surgery can be covered by savings.

Things where the cost of premiums often exceeds even if you have private health insurance.

If you have savings, you will be less worried about medical expenses.

Health insurance policies are worth a little review.

Pitfalls of savings type insurance and student insurance

Savings type insurance and student insurance are often thought to help prepare for future funds.

However, the yield is often low and it is more efficient to invest and save.

Personal pension insurance is the same, and it may be a wise choice to manage it yourself.

If you want to increase your money, consider ways other than insurance.

How do you prepare for your future funding?

... Read more生命保険や各種保険は、私たちの生活に安心感をもたらしますが、一方で見直さずに加入し続けるとかなりの負担になります。私自身も以前は医療保険や貯蓄型保険に多額の保険料を払っていましたが、日本の公的医療制度の充実度を知り、軽いケガや病気なら自己資金で十分対応できることに気づいてからは、医療保険の見直しを行いました。これによって毎月数千円の節約になり、その分を投資信託の積み立てに回すことで、少しずつ着実に資産を増やせています。 また、家族の生活を守るために掛け捨て生命保険を最低限に絞り込み、自動車保険も補償内容を見直しました。特に事故時の対人・対物無制限補償は削らず、日本で多い交通事故のリスクに備えることが重要だと感じています。火災保険も自宅の価値やリスクを踏まえ適切なプランを選び直し、過剰な保証を減らしました。 保険料の見直しで浮いた資金は、普通預金よりも将来リターンを期待できるNISAや積立投資に充てることをおすすめします。投資は怖いイメージもありますが、リスクを抑えたインデックスファンドなどから始めれば初心者でも安心して続けられます。私自身も少額からコツコツ始め、資産形成の楽しさを実感しています。 このように、保険の内容をよくチェックし、本当に必要なものに絞ることで無駄な保険料を削減し、その分を資産形成に回すことが賢いお金の使い方です。皆さんも保険見直しをきっかけに、マネーリテラシーを高めて将来の自由を手に入れてみませんか?
