What age should I start buying Insurance?

You should get cover as soon as you can. The younger you are the cheaper it is, and the best time for getting cover is when your health is good.

What cover and how much depends on your situation. Once people leave school, they go on a variety of different paths through life. Some go to university, some go straight into the workforce and others start their own businesses or a family. There is always a need for insurance at some level, it just depends on what your situation is.
The five big life events that trigger a need for insurance are:
• Getting married
• Starting a family
• Buying a property
• New job or promotion (increase in income)
• Buying a business
If you’ve been through one (or more) of these big five in the last year, then getting insurance is a smart move.
