Young professionals
At the start of working life, compare protection costs with ongoing payment commitments and any employer cover. Job changes can alter benefits. This page explains the distinctions between life, medical and illness cover without selecting a plan for you.

What usually matters
Employer-provided cover depends on employment. IA highlights loss of employer cover when a spouse stops working as a change in a young household’s protection position. IA: young adulthood
Pure term life normally has no cash value at expiry, and renewal premiums can rise with age; a low initial premium does not establish future cost. IA: life insurance types and cash values
Questions to take to the broker
Ask what remains after leaving a job, how premiums change at renewal and what happens if regular payments stop.
