Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

They're not scams per se, it's just their dividend payouts don't really come higher than market returns. Which makes sense then if you just go straight to an index fund. But we don't have those. The closest we have are mutual funds that acts like index funds.
Investment i do believe is something you ought to decouple from insurance. And seeing your answer I just want to emphasize that because your early 30s is the absolute last best time to get a good rate on your premiums so if you need to prioritize, priority should go to insurance (you're likely not to have chronic conditions, so they can't deny you coverage for preexisting etc. You want them on the hook for having to cover your diabetes for example, not give them the opportunity to deny this + you have to pay higher premium because higher risk)
