Practical Protection Podcast: Cost of insurance
Hi everyone, for the previous episode I was joined by Matt Ran, where we spoke about alcohol in relation to the protection insurance application journey. We discussed how this can influence the protection insurance terms offered to people and ran through some of the questions that may arise when going through the application process. We hope you found it useful?

This is the final episode of Season 4, (don’t worry Season 5 will be launching in the new year!) and I’m doing a run through of what you can expect to pay for your protection insurance depending on your age.
I go through some pricing examples for life insurance, life and critical illness cover, whole of life and income protection, and it's clear to see from the numbers that things start to get more expensive once you’re in your 40s.
Each of the quotes I give are guaranteed premiums, so I also talk through the difference between guaranteed and reviewable premiums for long-term protection.
You can listen to the episode at https://practical-protection.co.uk/the-cost-of-insurance/.
The podcast will be back in January, starting things off with a Mental Health Awareness Week with the Institute of Faculty of Actuaries. This will be a series of podcasts focusing on mental health and how it can have an impact on the different stages of the insurance journey.
