Yesterday, ING Malaysia unveiled its new series called INGeasi For You, comprising 3 all-in-one, flexible investment-linked insurance packages that offer protection and investment options to suit one’s needs at the different life stages.

The 3 packages are Discover, Achieve and Build.

Discover: When you graduate and join the working world
Achieve: As you advance on your career path
Build: As you start a family and have to plan for your future and that of your loved ones.

Now, I already have 3 policies, which monthly instalments in total adds up to more than my monthly rent. But is it worth it?

Of course it is! You won’t believe the ludicrous amount a medical bill can come up to, even if it’s for a minor health issue. The moment you’re hospitalised, be prepared to part with your life savings if you’re admitted into any private hospital.

However, with 3 policies, I might not require another. So what’s my interest in the “INGeasi For You”?

It’s Christmas Eve tomorrow.

Yes, I’m stating the obvious right?

I have been very sick lately, bouts of flu and fever followed by spine-numbing gastric spasms. The agony is leaving me pretty braindead lately. Turnaround time for work related matters are delayed and writing has taken a backseat, hence the lateness for some blogposts.

So really, what I want for Christmas is to be well again.
