Some TV serials and even films espouse the importance of life insurance, but many a times, it tries to project an untrue and often debatable aspect of life insurance. For instance, suggesting a person take high value life insurance cover so that on his death, the family would get the proceeds which will ensure their financial woes. This is completely untrue and impossible because, even if your life is precious and priceless for your dependents, it comes with its share of economic value. In fact, your income or net worth are factors on which life insurance covers are offered and a must know element when an insurer is offering you a policy.
