Certainly, I agree with the point you made about the necessity of insurance, and the decision should indeed be based on individual requirements.

But In general, it's common for people to have children between the ages of 30 and 35. By the time they reach 65, their children will typically be between 25 and 30 years old, often self-reliant. At this stage, parents may still have various financial obligations, but they will also possess their investments and retirement savings to cover any remaining expenses. This is why I mentioned that reaching the age of 65 is usually sufficient for many individuals.

I also concur with your observation that there will always be exceptions, such as those who have children later in life or those with home loans extending beyond the age of 65. Therefore, it's essential for individuals to make their decisions based on their unique circumstances. Nevertheless, our discussion should ideally address the common scenarios that apply to a broad segment of the population rather than focusing solely on exceptions.

permanent insurance is not much useful since:

  • you won't be needing it after a certain age, since you won't have much liabilities left. You will not have any dependent left on you after you cross a certain age eg 65.
  • It will have more premium than the term olan

Premiums are high if opted till old age. Insurance needed only till 65-75 age max and is reasonable. I'm an insurance advisor.

I believe 65 is sufficient, anything beyond 65 is an overhead and increases premium unnecessarily

There is no use of permanent life insurance. If you really want to spend that much money, check the monthly premium of term life insurance till age 65. Then check the monthly premium for permanent life insurance.

Start a monthly SIP in an index fund of the difference amount.

You'll thank me when you are 65.
