“Should I get a dog? Do I need to move out? Should I buy a house? Should I buy a car? Do I want to get married soon? When do I want to start a family? Should I start my own company? How can I protect myself and my assets? Should I travel the world?”
Usually, once you reach your twenties, you start to think more long-term about the end goals that you might have. These types of questions are bound to cross everyone’s mind eventually. Unfortunately, one topic that isn’t touched on enough in your twenties is the topic of insurance, which goes hand-in-hand with any major life event!
Insurance plays a vital role with every single one of the questions that were listed above. When owning a pet, Pet Insurance is a great thing to have. If you are thinking about moving out, renting a house, or buying a house, then you will need either Renter’s Insurance or Homeowner’s Insurance. If you are buying a car, then you will need Auto Insurance. If you are getting married or starting a family, then you most definitely need a Life Insurance to protect your new family.
Don’t forget to get that expensive diamond ring insured and to claim your spouse or children on your Health Insurance plans. There are multiple different types of insurance for business owners such as General Liability, Worker’s Comp, Landlord’s Insurance, etc. For any investments, Umbrella Insurance Policies are a fantastic form of protection for your assets. If you are thinking of traveling a lot, then look into Travel Insurance.
