Real questions

honest answers

If someone would struggle financially without your income or unpaid work, then yes, plain term life insurance is usually worth it. It’s less about how likely you are to die soon, and more about how brutal it would be for your partner or your child if you did. A simple, no‑investment term policy sized to clear debts and cover years of living costs is often cheap compared with what you spend on a car or phone. Skip the fancy ‘savings’ policies; you’re paying mainly for protection, not profit.

No. Funding your own later life is one of the best gifts you can give your child, because it lowers the odds they’ll have to support you when they’re trying to build their own life. Babies are expensive now, and adults with struggling parents are expensive later. Even if you dial back retirement contributions during leave, try not to stop completely. A small, steady amount into a pension, 401(k), superannuation, NPS, or ISA keeps your future on track without taking much away from your child.

There’s no magic number that fits every country or family. If you can, having three to six months of basic expenses in cash gives you breathing room for unpaid leave, medical surprises, and all the little costs that appear. But many parents don’t hit that before birth and still manage. Focus on two things: building any emergency buffer you can, and knowing what support and benefits you’re entitled to where you live. Planning and information often matter as much as the headline savings figure.
