Movember encourages men to take charge of their health, but what about your financial health?
Movember is the month when men around the world sprout moustaches to raise awareness for men's health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. But beyond the hairy upper lips and conversations about health, Movember is also an ideal time for men to buy life insurance. Sounds weird? Okay, bear with us and we’ll explain ourselves.
Movember highlights men's health risks
Every Movember, we’re reminded that we need to be proactive about our well-being. Prostate cancer, for example, is a very real health concern. In fact, according to The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), our country has one of the highest rates of prostate cancer in the world!
If you don’t want to become a statistic, CANSA emphasises the importance of regular screening for early detection. To reduce your risk, it's recommended that men over 50 get a Routine Prostate Specimen Antigen (PSA) test every two years. Early detection makes prostate cancer easier to treat, so if you have a family history of cancer, your doctor might suggest more frequent screenings, starting as early as age 40.
Why life insurance is a must for men
Right! So here’s the life insurance connection. If you’re using November to take charge of your physical health, why not extend this to your financial health? Life insurance is a brilliant financial tool that can create a much-needed financial safety net for your family.
Just think about it. If you’re the family breadwinner or financially responsible for your elderly parents, what would happen if you had to unexpectedly pass away? Having life insurance is a way to make sure your loved ones can still afford to pay their monthly bills. It could even ensure your children receive a good education and is a great way to take care of any outstanding debts that could burden your family.
When you have life insurance, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your loved ones are taken care of financially, no matter what life throws your way. It lets you focus on enjoying today living life to the fullest.
MiWayLife makes life insurance simple
At MiWayLife, we believe all men (and women for that matter!) should have life insurance and like to keep things simple. For a monthly premium, you’ll be offered a set amount of coverage that’s paid out in a lump sum to your beneficiaries in the event of your passing. As an example, you could get R500 000 worth of life cover from MiWayLife from just R164 per month.
All of our polices includes an accelerated Funeral Benefit, funeral cover for you and your family, and a Terminal Illness Benefit - all for one premium! Naturally, you never want to dwell on the fact that you could be diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer. However, if this ever had to happen, or if you were to develop any other incurable fatal illness, our Terminal Illness Benefit gives you the option to immediately claim 50% or 100% of your cover if you’re likely to pass away within a year.
The bottom line
We think life insurance is a must for all men, especially those who are breadwinners. This Movember, don't just take charge of your health and grow a moustache, grow your financial security! With life insurance, you can enjoy maximum peace of mind and, if you choose MiWayLife, you’ll get multiple benefits all for one low premium. Why not get a quick quote today?
