I think, Investing and Insurance both are different. Recently Insurance Companies come up with new Investment plans attached to Insurance plans just to make them attractive. Insurance is Insurance. It shouldn't be used for Investment. It can be used but still it is better to regard Insurance as a different thing and go for Investment separately. Majority people are not known about the power of investing so they think investing means SAVING! So they want to post pone it as they want to buy some Bike, Care, House etc. They plan to invest later on. And that too they invest in Mutual Fund or they trade stocks and seek advices of friends or relatives on that. Because of this they never know what true investing is and they never invest the real way it should be done. It is not surprising that, because of this only those who know what real investing is are making millions while others make a little or suffer losses. For your question, I think people should start investing as soon as possible. In childhood itself! Actually investing is fun if one knows how it works. Happy Mylotting!
