Quick Question
Which expense are you likely to cut back on during a recession?
Insurance
If just the mention of the word insurance makes you want to run for the hills, we get it. The thing is, having insurance—for your car, your home, your pet, etc.—is important for protecting your assets and loved ones, and for your financial health (you don’t want to get hit with a giant bill if your basement floods). We’ve done the research on all kinds of insurance and broken down what you need to know when you shop for a policy, so you can be sure your needs are covered.
