1-5: myths about trust
- "They won't pay out anyway." → The vast majority of disputes stem from inaccurate disclosure at signing - which is preventable: duty of disclosure.
- "It's full of small print." → Exclusions and waiting periods are public and comparable - before you sign: the honest version.
- "The broker will recommend whatever pays them more anyway." → The whole point of obtaining competing offers is comparing the content side by side in one table - and the decision is always the client's: how I work.
- "If it expires and nothing happened, the money's wasted." → Protection is a service, like home insurance - for the premium, the family lived protected for years: the pure term-life logic.
- "It's complicated." → Four numbers: cover amount, premium, term, beneficiary - the rest is my job: the basics article.
6-10: myths about sizing the cover
- "The bank's credit life insurance solves everything." → It covers the debt, not the family: bank vs. standalone.
- "My workplace group cover is enough." → A valuable base, but tied to your employment and rarely sized to your family's actual need: csoportos.biz.
- "It can wait until I'm older." → It's cheapest while you're young, and the terms lock in for many years: when starting a family.
- "It's expensive." → Pure term life gives a lot of protection for a small premium - the "expensive" impression is typically a memory of other products: myths.
- "I have savings, I don't need it." → Savings take years to build; protection applies to the full amount from the start of risk cover - taking into account the waiting periods set out in the policy terms. The two together are strong: decision map.
