The Lion Life Insurance Blog

Looking into life insurance can be overwhelming. I mean, all that jargon is enough to have you running for the hills howling like a loon.

Chronic illnesses can bump up your premium but what if you suffer from something simple like on and off back pain?

Surely this will be grand thinks you as you close your eyes and wince, in the hope that I'll agree with you.

You're right though, back pain won't increase the cost of mortgage protection or life insurance, but it can affect serious illness cover and income protection.

Okay, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

Is life insurance a big scam?

Do the insurers ever pay out?

These claim stats may surprise you.

Our friends at Irish Life have announced their Family Mile Challenge.

Because running isn’t just for us boring grown-ups, it’s for the kiddie winks too. In an effort to not only encourage us to get active but rope in the rest of the family too, Irish Life is asking you lovely lot to strap on those runners and give it a go on the 26th and 27th of June.

Plus, if you register, you have the chance to win some awesome prizes (their words not mine)

a stick
some twine
lollipops
FitBits

In fairness, they sent that stick to the office and we all loved it.

I know what you’re thinking - Is this fella trying to turn away my business?

Obviously, that’s a big fat nope. I love helping you guys get the best bang for your mortgage protection buck, but I’m also going to be brutally honest so that you can get the best deal.

So, you’re looking for the best income protection policy the world can offer, you’ve done all the research, you know income protection is the BEE’S KNEES, but you’re still not sold on which insurer to choose, and if you should go with the lads from Switzerland ??

I know; it’s like sending your toddler into the sweet shop. They know they want sweets, but which one will best serve their toddler-sized sweet tooth is an almost impossible decision. It’s the same for us and insurance, sort of.

A child would never choose Swiss Chocolate, far too rich and not enough sugar but should you go to Zurich for your income protection?

Let’s see,

I’ve rounded up the top 3 policy benefits on income protection from Zurich Life that might tip the scales in their favour.

First up….

I'm not a betting man, but I'd bet a pound to a penny (or a euro to a cent) that you're on the road to owning your very own home.

Very exciting!

But let's hold off on the clinking glasses and welcome mats for now.

Because there are many other less exciting, some might even say boring, things that go hand in hand with purchasing a property.

Can I be brutally honest with you?

And I don't mean honest in a your bum looks big in that sort of way.

I mean really honest.

Ok?

Here goes...

The Irish property market is mental.

Prices have skyrocketed to the moon, and there are no signs of them falling back to earth.

I bet you’re feeling pretty darn overwhelmed and wondering if you’ll ever get a foot on that ladder or if you’ll spend your time sliding down slippery snakes.
