Difference between Life Insurance and Medical Insurance

We have previously discussed the importance of medical insurance. However, when we think of insurance, life insurance often comes to mind. These two insurances serve different purposes.

Today, we'll learn about the basic differences between life insurance and medical insurance. Additionally, we'll explore whether insurance can be considered an investment.

Life Insurance:

      Life insurance is a policy we can obtain to protect our dependents. 

For example, if a family relies on one person's income and has no other financial assets, their well-being would be severely affected if that person were to pass away. But with life insurance, the family would receive the sum insured in the policy, which can save them from financial difficulties.

Medical Insurance:

     Health insurance does not provide money to the insured person's family like life insurance does. Instead, it covers the insured person's medical needs. 

If the insured person faces any illness, accident, or requires medical assistance, the sum assured will be used to meet their medical expenses and help with recovery.

It's essential to understand that these two types of insurance are fundamentally different.

Is Insurance an Investment?

No, insurance is not an investment. 

Insurance and investments fulfill different needs. Insurance provides security for ourselves and our future, covering expenses like medical and financial needs. 

On the other hand, investments are made to protect our money from inflation and help it grow.

When choosing insurance or making investments, consider their individual requirements. This way, you can create a good portfolio and make wise investments.

I hope this explanation clarifies the differences between insurance and investments...

What is Mutual Fund and How it Works, Definition of Mutual Fund...

A mutual fund is a simple way to invest money. Instead of investing by ourselves, we give our money to a professional called a Fund Manager who knows a lot about investing.  The Fund Manager takes care of our money and tries to make it grow by buying stocks, bonds, gold, and other investments. When we invest in a mutual fund, our money is combined with money from other people who are also investing in the same fund. This reduces the risk because the money is spread out and invested in different places. There are two ways to invest our money in a mutual fund.   One way is to invest a large amount of money all at once.  The other way is to invest a smaller amount regularly, like every month or every week. This is called a systematic investment plan (SIP). Mutual funds are a good option for people who aren't experienced or don't have time to manage their investments. The Fund Manager takes care of everything and tries to make our money grow.

The 80/20 Principle or Pareto principle...

Small things we do can make big changes in our lives. Today, we will learn about a rule that is related to this idea. This rule is called the 80/20 Rule.      According to this rule, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions.  It was discovered by a person named Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto, so it is also known as the Pareto Principle. When he studied the world economy, he found that 20% of the people own 80% of the money in the world.  He also found that 20% of his pea plants make 80% of the peas.   Similarly, 80% of a company's profit comes from 20% of its customers. He saw this pattern in many situations, which led him to create the 80/20 rule or the Pareto principle.  By using this rule correctly, we can achieve success.   For example, let's say we feel very worried and there are 10 problems causing our anxiety.   Out of these, 2 problems (20%) are responsible for 80% of our worry. If we find and solve those 2 problems, most...
