Re: Life insurance doing me noodle!!! Please help!
We've had our life insurance with AMP for the last 6 plus years. I've had quotes from other companies over the years to check we're not being over charged, and AMP have always come up cheaper so maybe check them out when yr ringing around !

We're with AXA and pay the following:
$320,000 life cover - premium $764 per annum
$200,000 life cover - premium $384 per annum
Both of us non-smokers and over 45 - him more over 45 than me!!!
Each year the premiums rise to cover 'cost of living adjustment' or whatever the proper term is, usually somewhere between $40-$80 per annum (it seems to vary).
The payout is made on death or if diagnosed with a terminal illness.
I wonder if the higher insurance premiums mentioned are for a different type of insurance that also includes repayment of monthly mortgage instalments should you be unable to meet the payment due to illness or redundancy etc. Might pay to check your comparing 'apples with apples'.
