Insurance is one of those things most people know they need, but many delay getting it. Sometimes it feels complicated, sometimes it feels unnecessary, and sometimes it’s just easy to push it off for later. The problem is, waiting too long can leave you unprotected when you need it most.

Here are five common reasons people delay insurance — and why it’s better to act now.

1. “It’s too expensive.”
In reality, going without insurance can be much more costly. A single hospital visit or home repair can wipe out savings.

2. “I’m healthy, I don’t need it yet.”
Health and life are unpredictable. Insurance works best when you get it before you need it.

3. “I don’t understand the details.”
That’s normal. Policies can be confusing, but resources like our Health Insurance guide and Life Insurance page make it easier.

4. “I’ll get it later.”
The longer you wait, the higher the risk — and often, the higher the premiums.

5. “I have other priorities right now.”
That’s fair, but protecting your family and assets is one of the most important investments you can make.

Insurance isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about giving yourself and your loved ones peace of mind. The sooner you start, the more secure you’ll feel.
