I can’t imagine what we would do without insurance. Oh, wait … we’d be broke! Next week will be hopefully the end for a while. Now I know why I strive to save money everywhere we …read more

Here are some insurance tips from one of my favorite financial advisors, Clark Howard. I especially like the tip about video taping your house and belongings. Great idea, Clark!
Figure out what limits you want on your homeowners insurance, and what value you need to insure, then call several insurers for quotes.
Sometimes you’ll get a better deal if you buy your homeowners and auto insurance from the same company.
Make sure you get a quote for insurance that would pay to replace your belongings, rather than pay you based on their depreciated value.
