There is a major discrepancy between perceptions and the reality of protection, according to a recent report by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI).<\/p>\n

More than six in 10 people say life insurance is important, even though fewer than three in 10 currently own a policy. Similarly, over half say the same about critical illness insurance, including 17% who consider it very important, but only 9% benefit from this protection.<\/p>\n

Protection misconceptions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report revealed some of the top reasons people avoid taking \u00a0out a protection policy, including \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t have a mortgage\u201d (38%) and \u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t afford it\u201d (35%).<\/p>\n

With policies starting from a couple of pounds a month, protection can cater to all budgets, while significant financial liabilities extend beyond mortgages. For example, it is vital to consider the impacts of lost earnings and how this might affect any dependants you have.<\/p>\n

Start young <\/strong><\/p>\n

Worryingly, three in ten people aged 18 to 34 think they are \u201ctoo young\u201d for protection. Accidents can arrive unexpectedly, making protection a crucial part of financial wellbeing at any age. Moreover, premiums are generally based on your age and \u00a0health condition, which can make \u00a0taking a policy out at a younger age \u00a0a shrewd financial decision.<\/p>\n
