My advice is given in these FAQs. Read them:

For younger people, I strongly advise them to follow the advice given in this FAQ:

After you have read and understood the FAQ, it is all right for you to talk to a financial or insurance adviser. The adviser will be able to help you to find a low cost option. Some of the advisers do look after the interests of their clients. You can help them to help you, by being educated about the options available to you.
