Reducing Insurance Costs During COVID-19 Is The Key To Success

Uncertainties are inevitable, but we can always prepare for it. During these trying times, you must be aiming to be liquid or maybe working to make ends meet so that when the unforeseen comes, you know you can quickly get something from your pocket.

This pandemic has brought us so much to think about, and one of these is keeping our insurances enforced even if our income is shaky in status. That's why we gathered a few tips you shouldn't miss out on in reducing insurance costs during COVID-19.

Review your policies. Whatever insurance policies you are maintaining, it's the best time to review it.

1. Life and Health Insurance

As the family's breadwinner, your life is the top priority, so make sure you got your life covered with life insurance as well as a good health insurance. Remember that it is your last will and testament, if anything happens to you, that is not taxable. It will also cover all your loans and mortgages and will prevent your family from carrying the burden of paying them when you are gone. Now, your income, too, because you wouldn't want to put your hard-earned money to pay for your medical bills if the virus hits you, right?! This simply says again that everyone in the family must also be insured, including your children, who are most likely to be infected easily.

2. Home Insurance

We do not know how far this pandemic will go on, but if worse comes to worst, and unexpected events erupt, is your home, the structure itself and everything inside it prepared for theft, accidental damages within your property and other damages that may be caused to it by either pandemic related riots, theft, civil unrest and vandalism or even weather conditions?

Go and check your home insurance now. Make sure it's covered, too because what we don't want right now are unnecessary expenses, and if our homes are well insured, our insurance provider will cover any unexpected disbursements that are covered through the policy.

If you are a homeowner, then you should know that home insurance can be reduced to the minimum while staying well covered through a proper home insurance comparison. Your protection's affordability varies on what type of homeowner you are and the kind of coverage you need, though.

You can easily compare cheap home insurance quotes online on educational comparison sites like Insuranks.com, and you can also find an excellent guide on home insurance and cheap home insurance companies, as well as comprehensive ideas on getting cheap homeowners' insurance and the reviews of the best companies that provide them.

3. Car insurance

During emergencies, we cannot just totally rely on 911 to rescue us, especially during a pandemic like this when their priority is to save COVID-19 patients and keep the virus from spreading more. During these emergencies, we need our cars more than ever. Thus, keeping it in shape is a top priority.

However, we cannot let go of the fact that accidents do happen no matter how careful we are on the road. Are we financially ready to face the expenses from accidents? Or would you like someone to carry this for you? Of course, it's the latter, so check your auto insurance now and make sure it's covered, too.

Owning a car is not a privilege. It is a responsibility the same way as holding a driver's license. Hence, make sure you get sufficient car insurance coverage to protect from unnecessary expenses brought by accidents and unexpected incidents. With this comprehensive cheap car insurance quotes comparison and shopping guide, shopping for car insurance will be as accessible as 1, 2, 3.

Those above mentioned insurance types will give you certainty, peace of mind and keep your focus on staying on track while facing this COVID-19 pandemic.

So, you have reviewed your policies, and you missed two or three. It only means you are underinsured, no problem. Act upon it now! You may be having second thoughts of getting one right now because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as your budget may be compromised. Don't worry.

There are so many ways to get cheap insurance. What is important before getting any insurance coverage is reading and understanding the quotation or proposals to verify if your priority is met or you will end up spending more. Lastly, there is no such thing as over-insured, so don't worry about it. Now is always the right time to get protected and keep it that way!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
