Sabrina’s Money Madness

I did actually cancel my insurance last month and go with a new company. It was pretty much a last minute decision and I had already written and published the posts about not switching so I just left them up.
Since it was such a last minute decision, my old company processed my payment for my […]

It was from unclaimed property. I was doing a check to see if anything had popped up for me, it hadn’t, and she walked by my desk and sat down. That made me decide to run her name to see what I came up with. Sure enough she was there.
The money was from a previous […]

I had gotten a quote from another company over the internet that was $50 cheaper than what I’ve been paying every 6 months. While not a significant savings, it was savings none the less.
Then I asked about renters insurance. It’s just easier to have both insurance policies with the same company. There is also the […]

My policy is due to be paid on Friday. I have the money ready to go but I’m ready to switch companies. Again. When I got my premium renewal I was surprised that it didn’t increase for the first time since I’ve had the insurance. It’s still less than the premiums that I was paying […]

 I think the magic eight ball is saying no. My agent is a really nice guy but I don’t see myself saving anything by having him around. The insurance that I have increases every time my policy renews. I’m in PA. and we generally only have 6 month policies. You can find a company that […]

Most of my family still lives in the southern NJ and Philly area where they just got hit with Irene. Everyone said it wasn’t so much the wind as much as it was the rain. Streets and homes were flooded, there was damage to kitchens including the undermount sink that some people have. Basements are a mess so if anyone had a gameroom […]

I could not possibly be happier. I really shouldn’t qualify for a lot of things with them including Texas auto insurance, casualty insurance or discounts on my investments. Somehow I got through their loophole and now I qualify for everything. I do know that the more products you have, the more likely they are to […]

I called my insurance company to make a claim on the policies that my mom had left behind. A little over a third of the money is being paid directly to the funeral home for their costs and then my brother and I will split the rest. It’s not a lot of money but I’m […]

My insurance company is acting crazy and I’m gearing up for a fight. My Mom passed away earlier this month and she left behind several small policies. One policy is still in the “contestable” stage so the insurance company is doing everything in their power to not pay out the policy. Never-mind that it’s a […]

I have until the end of the day to enroll in my benefits. If I don’t pick anything new, my benes will default to what I already have. Right now I’m trying to decide between two plans. The problem is that they look incredibly similar and it’s pretty hard to decipher what the differences are.
They’re both […]

I really never paid attention to how much I paid for insurance. I got a bill for the total amount and then a break down of how much it would cost every month. This month however I looked at the discounted amount as opposed to the full amount. The difference is almost $50. In PA […]

My insurance used to be sky high. It was over $1200 a year for a small used car. I do have full coverage because the car is financed so I expected it to be around that amount. Then I switched companies and my premium went down to $900 per year. That was more like it […]
