During the sessions, it successfully sparked intriguing discussions among our advisors. Here are some of their insightful comments:
- “Playing this board game really underscore the importance of insurance during unexpected events like accidents or hospitalisations.”
- “This game highlighted our tendency to spend on non-essentials and taught me the importance of careful financial planning with limited resources.”
- “I learned the significance of diversifying our funds across savings, insurance, investments, and other asset through this play session.”
Stay tuned for more updates and insights about the InsureLit board game. Let's continue to explore and elevate our understanding of insurance and takaful together!
