Make way for the #Unyakeenable!

So today I am writing about investments and insurance. Let me be honest; this is not my forte. I may be a computer whiz or social media geek who can do a lot with the keyboard and mouse buttons; but when it comes to saving, investing, securing the future – I really need help and guidance.

Now that I am a little stable job-wise, it’s been four years almost since I changed my vocation and had a kid – making me a responsible adult; it’s time to start getting serious about the investments. Plus they help plan tax-saving as well. Trust me, I have made huge income tax payments because I did not plan properly, no guidance and didn’t take it seriously.

We usually want two basic things – a life insurance and an investment – maybe mutual funds or property. I don’t earn as much yet to invest in property, and I think it’s important to have some insurance. The best option then, I read recently are ULIPs - A Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is a product offered by insurance companies that, unlike a pure insurance policy, gives investors both insurance and investment under a single integrated plan.

As a layman, when we see the various policies on websites like Policy Bazaar, the first thought that comes to the mind is – What’s the catch here? What if someone told you that there is a ULIP that doesn’t take any allotment charges and on top of that, contributes to your investment? Sounds #Unyakeenable right?
