Home Insurance Follow Up
Always do a home insurance follow up with your insurer to ensure they have all the details and documentation they will need to make any claim go smoothly.
Home Insurance Hidden Traps
Have you read your home insurance policy closely and understand all the ins and outs, and possible home insurance gotchas? These hidden traps are there to catch you out.
Mothers and #MoneyTalk
For those of us not directly affected, maybe it is time to check your home insurance policies to see whether this kind of event is covered or not. It would be less than prudent not to do that right now. I wonder what this might do to home insurance rates.
Listen up! Sunday is Mother’s Day, and you better remember the woman who has been, and still is, the center of your world. She’s the one who has guided you to where you are today. If you no longer have your mother, my sympathies go out to you. But if you still have your mother, have you planned what you will do for her on Sunday? And why wait until Sunday to do it? Don’t procrastinate. Show some appreciation and gratitude to the most important woman in your life!
New fathers remember this advice I gave a while ago
A helpful hint for new Fathers out there, you may have the idea that your wife is NOT your Mother so you don’t need to get her anything, you are mistaken. She is your children’s mother, and if you don’t get her something expect a very cold and quiet Sunday (and the argument, “You aren’t MY Mother!”, really seems to exacerbate the whole thing), not that I am speaking from personal experience.
My Writings for the Week Ending May 6th
A lovely spring week in Ottawa, with the Tulips starting to bloom (the squirrels have eaten mine already), but some interesting articles written as well.
With Fees and Penalties I wondered if some existing fees might disappear like the rewind fees on VHS tapes? I somehow doubt many are going away any time very soon.
Debt Consolidation and Tattoo Coverups has me making a connection between bad tattoos and debt (remember I have previously said that Debt is Like Fat and Debts are Like Weeds), and I think the point is well put.
A Money Thought
Don’t buy stuff just because it is on sale! –Anon
Debt Consolidation and Tattoo Coverups
The story recounts a friend’s decision to cover an old tattoo with a new, larger one, drawing a parallel with debt consolidation. While covering up the tattoo doesn’t remove its existence, the same applies to debt consolidation—it merely combines debts into one, larger sum. If the irresponsible spending continues, the debt, much like the tattoo, becomes larger. The author advises users of debt consolidation loans to have a repayment plan and to avoid treating the loan as a cure-all or using it too frequently.
Fees and Penalties
Most folks think of fees and penalties as motivators to get folks to follow the rules, when they are really valued income streams for the service industry.
