Insurance after high school…
You did it. You graduated. Now life begins! Along with these new beginnings come new responsibilities – college, trade school, full-time jobs, renting, owning homes & cars, medical bills, etc. So what do you REALLY need to worry about right now? Let’s figure it out!
Could any of these scenarios apply to your situation?
Here are a few common questions and scenarios we see and are asked about frequently:
- I’m going to buy my first car, registered in my name…
- What if I leave my laptop somewhere & it gets stolen…
- I don’t need my car, so I’ll be keeping it at home / stored…
- I’ll be using a bike to get around campus…
- Since I’m the only one who has a car, my roommates & I will share mine…
- I’m moving to Wisconsin / Iowa / ND / SD…
- There was a fire in my apartment / rental home / dorm and all my “stuff” is destroyed…
- I’ve got a side hustle (pizza delivery, Lyft/Uber, Instacart, Doordash, etc.)…
- Even though I’m moving, it’s just an hour away and I’ll be coming home each week/weekend…
- We had a party at our house and someone fell on the steps…
If any of the scenarios above could apply to you, call your agent before you head off, to confirm your “stuff” is protected. It may be covered, but it may not be – depending on what your carrier policy states.
We know – you’re broke (or will be.)
Paying for insurance isn’t a top priority of yours. You’ll need money for pizza and coffee, right? But if the bike you ride to the local coffee shop gets stolen, now you’ll have to buy a new bike. Or if your laptop gets stolen… or if your car gets broken into.
• Who can afford to go all winter with a broken driver’s side window? •
That is EXACTLY what insurance is for – to protect you and your assets. Whether it’s auto, home/renters, health, life or any other insurance – you really do need it.
So what’s the next step?
