Before You Renew Your Insurance Policy

A lot can change within a year, be sure to reivew your insurance policy to avoid surprises when it come time to use it.

This post was contributed by a community member.

With many aspects of our financial lives, it’s quite common to just “set it and forget it.” This can work out well when we’re setting up a savings plan that automatically transfers money from a checking account to a savings account, but in the case of insurance, this strategy can end up working against you. Just because you have insurance doesn’t mean you’re covered. So much can change within the span of a year, and unless you take some time to review your coverages, you may be surprised when it comes time to use them. 

This topic is so important that we’re writing a series of blogs on what to look
for when reviewing various kinds of insurance policies.
