Day 1: Review your life insurance cover

 

Review your insurance cover comprehensively.... Human life is invaluable. But, life insurance is the legacy one leaves to his family in his absence. Therefore, @ any point of time a person should be covered atleast 10 times of his annual income to ensure his family is fully secured always. Let's assume, If the annual income is Rs 10 lacs, the person should have Rs 1 Crore cover.

Day 2: Review your Health insurance cover

Review your health insurance cover for your family. Health costs are rising up and If the cover is provided by your organization, review the adequacy of the cover. Nevertheless, It's always better to have an additional cover which will be handy during the times of crisis.
