The Importance of Insurance For The Family Finances

2010-03-08T18:59:00.000-08:00

Indonesian society in general still do not make insurance one needs for the survival of family life. Therefore we try to provide commentary about the importance of insurance for the family finances, both short and long term. For example, life insurance (life insurance).

Life Insurance
Briefly life insurance is the provision of funds to protect or maintain the continuity of the family life of a loved one. If you are still naked and not married then it might be better if you buy health insurance (if there is no benefit from the company). Or maybe you can buy insurance for kristis diseases or so-called critical illness insurance. With this insurance, if you are diagnosed, then you will get the money at once or before Sump, which can be used to fulfill your daily needs.

Determining Insurance
If you need life insurance for terntentu purposes, such investments for maintaining the child's education costs, the calculation of the amount required sum assured becomes easier, at least 6 times you prepare from your gross income or 10 times net income. This value may be enough for some families but may also be low for some others.

Deposit Insurance
Term life can be taken every year and extended in the next year or you can buy it for a period that you specify for example 5 years, 10 years, even 20 years. When you purchase an annual term insurance, annual premium costs will always rise. Because the insurance premiums to see your mortality probalitas will further increase with age. Whereas if you buy term insurance 10 year term, then the insurance company will calculate the average premium cost or flat for a period of 10 years.

As long as you pay the premium every month, your insurance protection will continue to apply. Meanwhile, if you fail to pay the annual premium, your insurance protection will be exhausted by the time limit (grace period) is very short-one months. This insurance has no cash value. That is, if you meningal world at the specified grace period, then your family will receive the full sum assured.

When are Buying Insurance
Some people ask, what about the insurance products that provide cash value? Like the unit-link. Where you can select the types of investments that match what you want. Should I buy this type of insurance or insurance buy term and invest the rest?

When you compare these two things, buy term insurance and invest the rest will give better results if you consciously continue to invest. If you fail or postpone investment because of certain things, the results obtained it is not maybe a little more cash than the value given by the unit-linked products.

If you include the difficult to set aside funds to invest regularly every month, product unit-linked insurance can be an alternative. This product provides the benefits of this type of investment that we can select and protection be with him. By purchasing this product, every year (if you pay premiums every year) you'll be charged the same amount of premiums, in which some will be invested (the longer the greater portion of investment compared with protection) and others-cost protection and other administrative costs.

Think Insurance Educators Children From Now

2010-03-08T18:50:00.000-08:00

how to set up education funds Given the increasingly expensive cost of education, then the installments of menyiasatinya with a solution right now is the most reasonable and logical. Because of that, put together a program early education for children too, always encouraged the experts, both financial and educational experts.

Child's academic success, I can not help it supported the availability of materials. Scholarship, if any, is not necessarily sufficient. Not to mention the requirements can be quite difficult. The consequence of being a parent is thinking about issues including children's education. Wherever you choose, the school in national plus school or general international full facilities and great cost, or a public school may be more economical, but costs still must be available.

Not just for tuition and books, other excesses of the starting bersekolahnya child should have taken into account, such as transportation costs, costs of schooling to go through it (if you must eat lunch in the street when the distance of the home and school far enough away, or if the school lasted longer ), cost-tutoring lessons that may be followed by children, to other costs such as having a birthday party or buy a birthday gift for a friend's birthday at school. If these things or have new thinking is needed immediately, of course, was very large expenditures, and many parents run helter-skelter to find the cost in a short time.

Therefore, investing in education of children, actually had absolutely think the parents of modern life like now. Start with simple things to big things. This could think of now.

1. Looking for information on where the child will attend school one day, and choose a school that is not too far from home so you can more easily monitor, and the child was not so tired on the road. Remember, this years jam was happening everywhere, especially in Jakarta and surrounding areas. Looking for a house near the school is a healthy alternative and logical.
2. After knowing how much roughly it cost to school children there, begin to calculate costs. Calculate also inflation, which means that if your baby is still old and the new year will be another three years of school, tuition will rise now. Many people calculate the inflation rate of 6-10% each year. From here, you can guess what the amount of money for needed school.
3. Educational investments can be done in various ways, usually in the form of savings and insurance. Find the most suitable investments with the ability and character or pattern of your finances.
4. If your need is so great that there was no funds to invest, you should recalculate the household balance sheet or budget. See section which can be saved. For example, if every day you usually have lunch at the office, could be reduced expenses if you bring lunch from home? The experience of the successful people are simply saved in frugality, which stop the unnecessary expenditure-need so.
5. Customize your choice of investment products with the desired educational goals. We have had a lot of banks that offer savings programs or educational investment. Try asking the details to them. Usually, there are calculations and illustrations of how the funds must be spent every month or every year, and the umpteenth year, the funds are to be numbered and can be taken so or not.
6. Find other investment products that are not strictly conservative, such as savings. If possible, take the product returns are greater than the assumed rate of inflation.

How to Set up Education Funds

2010-03-08T18:46:00.000-08:00

Although the new school year is still several months away, but many parents have started to "hunt" school for their child. Looking for a good school for the baby is not easy. Especially when considering the exact cost is not small.

One way to set up education funds is through education insurance. What was that education insurance? Perhaps not everyone knows, real education insurance product is life insurance products. Yes, education insurance is life insurance cash value of the deposit return your premiums, at the time agreed upon and approved by you as a customer and the insurance company.

When you come to the insurance company, and asked to be opened education insurance products, they will provide a calculation of the amount of premiums that you deposit, the cash value that can be taken, and the sum assured can be obtained after completion of the insurance contract. Well that's the cash value that you can use to fund your child's future education.

So, actually selling insurance protection for your soul, but with the bonus of a cash value that can be taken at times agreed upon for example at every level of education of our children years in levels of school children.

What advantages? Education insurance usually provides certainty in terms of numbers. This means that we are promised in certain years we are given a number of funds they have promised. For example, by paying a premium in a certain amount, can a monthly or yearly, we are given the promise of getting some funds that are usually tailored to their educational levels such as kindergarten, elementary, and so on.

Insurance is different from education and other education planning products such as educational savings.

Education savings will provide you with the results obtained from the applicable rate. That is, the amount of your savings will really depend on how much the interest rate that occurred during the time you save. The problem could be the value of your educational savings are not the same as described in the illustration earlier. So it could be lower, but it is possible also to be higher.

Which is better? If you want the certainty of value, must have better insurance. Imagine, no matter what they have to pay as promised. But if the aim is not the value of money, maybe education savings could be an option.

In education insurance, with the same amount of premium, if you choose to provide funds at every level of education, amount of funds that automatically you will get divided. Meanwhile, if you choose to provide funds only in higher education, the results at the time your child entered college, the result will be quite high.

For example, an education insurance premiums required to be paid by customers for Rp.350.000 per month for 10 years. If the sum assured you will gain from this insurance is IDR 100 million, so if you ask these values divided by level of education, then the equivalent value of IDR 100 million that will be shared by the insurance. But when asked at the end say when your child to college, then dapatnya big enough for your cash value is not reduced.

Now, please specify which method you want to go to set up education fund for your baby.

Selection of Insurance for Children

2010-03-08T18:35:00.000-08:00

Call, you and your wife are a young couple, earning only 1 million a month, and just had a child aged 1.5 to 2 years. Well, where should you choose, insurance or savings? If possible can only be saved, how much money should you set aside each month?

Selecting Investment To Prepare For Children Education Fund

2010-03-08T18:33:00.000-08:00

On February 3 last, I was in Semarang for NOVA's invitation to give seminars on how to design children's education budget. Although this topic I've written before in NOVA No. 642 and 643, I felt up whenever this topic will remain interesting when discussed.

The seminar consisted of two sessions. The first session discussed the importance of preparing children's education funds and how to calculate its budget. While the second session is specifically to train the participants how they can calculate their own budget for the education of their children.

Before the first session ended, I get a lot of questions about what investment products are "appropriate" in preparing children's education fund. Even when the rest of seminars (coffee break), there is only participant who approached me and asked whether the investment in these products and is profitable or not.

Because of that, it occurred to me to discuss about the preparation children's education funds, but in terms of investment products. This means that any investment products are available for the preparation of children's education fund, and what the pros and cons of each.

Let us repeat the previous bit. In preparing the children's education fund, was not only need to know about how to calculate the budget for the preparation of their education funds, but also what investment products should be selected. For example, you've done the calculations and find that you need to save as much as Rp 100 thousand per month to prepare your child's education fund. Now the question is, where money USD 100 thousand had to ditabungkan? Savings to the Bank, buy gold, buy mutual funds, insurance open education, or where else?

At NOVA earlier when writing about how to prepare the children's education fund, I was more focused on how to calculate its budget. It's not where the money should be invested. Let's discuss what investment alternatives to choose parents in preparing their children's education fund and what the pros and cons of each.

Savings Bank

This product is a product of the most frequently selected parents in preparing their children's education fund. The process is easy: you live to the bank, open a savings account, and put your money into it. At this time, the bank interest rate is around 8 Â 9 percent per year. Interest, will be deducted for taxes. If your balance is USD 7.5 million to the bottom, then the tax you pay is 15 percent of the flowers. But if the balance of your savings over USD 7.5 million, the tax you pay is 20 percent of the flowers.

What's the advantage if you use this product as an investment tool for the preparation of your child's education fund? Obviously the money that you enter will not be reduced. This is because the investment returns you earn on savings is uncertain, which is about 8-9 percent per year before taxes. Well, that's me know so maybe you thought. But it is only the excess that's all. There are no other advantages.

The downside? If you're saving money regularly every month, then when you die, regular savings deposits you usually do threatened to stop. For example, you save as much as Rp 100 thousand per month to savings. Currency USD 100 thousand was derived from your income every month. Well, when you die, then your income will stop. If your income stops, stop also the deposit of USD 100 thousand was. Right? If the deposit you stop, then the education fund that you prepare threatened will not be fulfilled later.

Hence comes the name Education Savings products. This product is actually the same as regular savings products, it's just that these savings are covered by life insurance. How does it work? Simple: You deposit a certain amount of money each month. When you die, then the regular savings deposit you usually do will be replaced by a third party (in this case the insurance company), so that education funding will still be available later. It's just note that these products typically provide rates lower than rates on regular savings. Perhaps because this product is also protected by life insurance.

Deposits

If you want to save for your child at once (lump sum), then can you make a deposit of alternative investment products. But if you want to save money on a monthly basis to say Â Â USD 100 thousand per month, it will be difficult to open a deposit. The reason, most banks require a minimum amount of Rp 1 million to open a deposit.

What's the benefit when opening deposit? This product is almost equal to the savings, only the interest rate you get bigger. At this time, deposit rates are around 11-12 percent per year. Only yes it was, most banks require a minimum amount of Rp 1 million to open a deposit. So if your balance has reached around Rp 1 million, it would not hurt you enter into a deposit to get a larger interest than savings rates.

It's just not as savings deposits that can be taken at any time. In the deposit, your money will be locked for a certain period. But if you're saving for children's education fund preparation, of course this is not a problem. After all, the new money will you take when your child will attend school. So my advice, if the balance in your savings account has reached the amount of USD 1 million or more, should move into the deposit to obtain higher yields than savings.

Ground

If you have a number of large funds, you could invest in preparation for your child's education by buying a plot of land.

What are the benefits if you buy the land for the preparation of children's education? In the long run, the investment results that generally you can get on the ground can be quite large. Numbers vary. But in the long run could be about 30 percent a year. The reason is because the population continues to rise, while not increasing the amount of land.

But keep in mind that the land is not always easy for resale. Therefore, do not buy the land if it was your preparation time gap is still below 10 years. For example, if indeed you want to set up college funds for your child who was 7 years old again, it would be very unwise if you make an investment through the soil. Thus, the results on the ground can indeed great, but it generally results could be obtained only in the long term, not short term. Of course, this long-term assumptions may differ between me and you. But in my opinion, points above the 10-year safe enough to be called the long term.

Gold

You can also choose to invest for children's education by buying gold. At this time, the price of one gram of gold varies. If you want to save for say Â Â USD 300 thousand per month, and the price of one gram of gold is USD 60 thousand per gram, then you can buy 5 grams of gold per month.

But if the note, gold is generally only going up in the event of certain conditions. There are three conditions that could make the gold price rises: (1) increasing price of the dollar, (2) rising prices of goods and services in general or inflation, and (3) social unrest.

If the three conditions above are not happening, in terms of normal circumstances only, it generally increases the price of gold will be mediocre. In fact, the price might be down. Well, too bad huh? But yes that's why I suggested that the gold be the last option only if you want to prepare your child's education fund by buying gold. Wong if the normal price of gold will rise only slightly kok. The magnitude, yes, at most only 5 per cent a year.

Insurance Education

The way that the education of insurance work like this: You pay premiums to a certain amount (can be every month, three months, six or 12 months), and when your child into the level-specific education level (usually starting from the elementary and junior high, high school and Higher Education), you will get the amount of education funding in the amount varies.

Education insurance excess, when you die, then the amount of educational funds promised by the insurance company will still be given, even if you no longer pay the premiums.

How did it go? If counted counted, investment results that you get education on insurance may be smaller (in some insurance companies may be the same) compared to savings in the bank. Just compensation is that you (as parent) will receive life insurance where this is necessary for preparing your children's education funds, life insurance because the role here is to protect the risk of death at you.

Mutual Funds

You can also save yourself by opening a mutual fund account. Mutual fund is a form of investment where your money will be managed by an investment management company, and you will get a progress report every one or a few months. The description of the mutual funds you can read in the NOVA no. 666 and 667.

Excess Investment Fund is that in general the results you can get can be better than the bank's products. This is because your investment is managed by an investment management team and your money will be invested not only in bank products (such as savings and time deposits), but also on financial products who can give the potential for greater profits, such as SBI, bonds or shares .

What shortcomings when used for mutual fund investing your child's education? Well, if you die the world, routine deposits that you enter into mutual funds threatened to stop, so that your child's education fund at risk will not be able available in time later. Therefore, it can be anticipated by way of taking Life insurance. So, besides saving money into mutual funds, you also have life insurance.

Hopefully, after learning the intricacies quick investment products as well as the strengths and weaknesses, you can decide for yourself which products you should use to prepare your child's education fund. As for the seminar in Semarang, I hope someday to return again to share another topic that is not less interesting.

C. Opinions Ulama on Insurance
Insurance problems in the view of Islamic teachings, including the problem ijtihadiyah, legal means need to be studied as deeply as possible because it does not explain leh Al-Qur'an and Sunnah explicitly. Mujtahid imams such as Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'i, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and the mujtahid who during her does not give legal opinions about the insurance because the insurance at the time was unknown. New insurance system known in the East in the nineteenth century AD. Western world are familiar with this insurance system since the XIV century AD, while the great mujtahid scholars living in around the second century AD sd IX.
Among Muslim scholars or scholars of the four opinions on the law of insurance, namely:

This opinion was expressed by Abdul Wahab Khalaf, Mustafa Ahmad Zarqa, Muhammad Yusuf Musa and the reasons put forward as follows:

• insurance keep many people from the accident to property, wealth, and keperibadian.

For reasons such, insurance is considered meaningful for the participants and the insurance company simultaneously. Practices or actions that can bring much benefit people are justified by religion.
Mohammad Fuad further explained that the insurance Fachrudin sosisal, such as health insurance and accident insurance, caused by work. State did against every person who pays the premium fee determined for that, also state that meet the deficiencies found in the difference the money has been withheld by payer money damages. So insurance is public interest towards the social. Therefore, insurance is justified by the religion of Islam.
Insurance against accidents, if insurance belonging to the mix of insurance (insurance that included savings). Mixed nature of the insurance premium includes two, namely the danger of death ubntuk close and to prepare the money to be paid if he had not died dalm period specified, then the law allowed by the religion of Islam because in it there asuransicampur drive to save money and savings for the public benefit .

F. Insurance System in Islam
Described by Muhammad Siddiqi Nejatullah that insurance is a basic need for humans because the financial consequences of an accident and need compensation. Insurance is the trustees organizational problems that are universal, such as sudden death, disability, unemployment disease, fires, floods, storms, and accidents related to transportation and kerugianfinansial causes. Accidents like the above are not only dependent on volunteers, this fact requires insurance to be treated as a basic human need in the very broad scope of activities and the human situation.
Perindungan needs to face disasters and financial loss associated with each person facing as important as the maintenance of order. To eliminate the evils of the type of accident described in the provisions relating to public kesejahtraan and social security, in an Islamic system is a state duty to provide help to people who are experiencing difficulties and meet the needs arising from sudden accidents, defective innate, while unemployment, old age or natural death of family breadwinner. In general, countries will rely on their own opinions to fulfill these obligations. In certain cases, a number of specific sources can also be tapped for this purpose, let the employer charged on behalf of the employees and their workers, the government charged on behalf of civil servants as well as wages or salary.
The design is considered insurance in line with Islamic values proposed by Siddiqi uhammad Nejatullah as follows.
a. All insurance is about the dangers of the human soul, both of body and health angota should be handled exclusively under state control. If the life or health of the human body affected by the industrial accident or while carrying out duties as instructed by his employer, aid agencies and restitution imposed on factory owners or employers. The same principle can be applied when deciding pengangguaran problem, whether the action should dilakuka by the employer or owner of the factory after the result menganggurannya person. Along with these individuals should be given the freedom to take out insurance in order to cope with damage caused to the interests of himself and his family by accident so he can maintain economic productivity and business continuity.
Such insurance must be above the interests of the country by bringing down all the insurance carried by the state authority. State must take steps to protect property and people's property from fire, flood, earthquake damage, storms, and theft. The opportunity should be given to each individual to take out insurance against financial loss occurred. Let compensation determined in each case under the previous contractual agreement that is the basis of premium payment by property owners. In impoverished person caused by an accident, the person must be rescued from poverty with a social security system. This guarantee must be obtained without payment of any premium. Would be appropriate if the big companies like the aircraft industry is obliged to be insured, the house can also tingal wrought by dipertimbangan-point jalurini, private entities conducting insurance business for Brang-goods wealth can also be permitted.

b. Let most forms of insurance relating to the soul, the sea trade, fires, and accidents included in the state sector. Some of them are dealing with a specific accidents, the rights and interests and kntrak-contract could be handed over to the private sector.

Life Insurance Protects The Customer or Economic Value (?)

2010-03-08T18:17:00.000-08:00

I've listened to the opinion of some people about life. Some say: "Life is God's business. Insuring that our souls before God's will. "

So to speak. And the fact is, indeed, quite a lot of people are allergic to hear the word 'insurance'. The funny thing is, those who are allergic to this insurance did not hesitate to insure your car, motorcycle or houses they have.

Hence, not surprisingly, the majority owner of a motor vehicle to protect the economic value of vehicles with insurance, while only about 3% of all Indonesian people who consciously protect themselves with the economic value of life insurance.

Actually life insurance is not to protect our souls. But rather to protect the economic value of ourselves. For example, if we are able to provide 5 million dollars every month for our family a decent living, then life insurance helps us to ensure that the economic lives of our families by spending 5 million dollars that could be kept awake, 'even if' something happens that causes us could no longer make money. We do not expect 'something' was happening.

But who can ensure the future?

Therefore, try to ponder: If the economic value of our car or house just protected, why do we not protect the economic value of our self? Is a car or a house is more valuable than ourselves?

If our employees, try to check whether the company where we work is to provide life insurance for us. Company-a good company usually provides life insurance for his employees. But there are 2 things we need to do:

First, ask the HRD, whether insurance is provided only for as long we work in the company, or can proceed alone if we stop working.

In general, if employees resign or retire, so his life insurance will be disconnected automatically. Therefore, consideration should be given to purchase their own insurance. Unless we plan to work on as a professional.

However, consideration should be too, if we retire, whether that protection can be taken away as a retirement package or not.

Second, if the company has provided insurance that we can manage themselves (you can take them away and continued his own) so maybe it's time to do financial planning or school fees of children in the future.

There are those who prefer to save every month in the bank, and not taken-taken. No matter if we can be disciplined way. But if not, maybe insurance education can be the solution.

Apart from that, insurance has the advantage of education in terms of protection, which is not owned by the education savings.

The principle is: if there is 'something' in us, so our children still get the education funding guarantee in accordance with what we planned.

Even if we do not want to buy an insurance policy, we do not hesitate to consult with insurance agents. It would not hurt if we understand the mechanism of this model of financial planning.

At least, we can compare it with financial planning strategies that we run today. Although we do not buy insurance policy from them, they are usually happy to help us to design a long-term financial plan we are. That is, we can get a free consultation about our financial planning. Not bad right?

We have had a lot of insurance combined with investment. So, you will get benefits of protection, while viewing portion of the money you paid as savings or investments that continue to grow and develop.

Life Insurance

2010-03-08T18:13:00.000-08:00

When I asked people “have you bought yourself a life insurance or have you insured?” Most of the answers became another question, why buy life insurance?

Buying life insurance is a protection for ourselves and our family, fate is unpredictable, should mishap falls on us we do not know. Who is going to take care of our children upon our death? Should we see them live on charity or let them live in misery? To own a policy is to secure our family; the proceeds from the life insurance can substitute the income to our family upon our death. We also buy life insurance to cover our funeral expenses, for funeral expenses is a huge sum of money to pay. If we died our children have to live on.
