Another year is ending and it’s time to prepare ourselves for 2011. This month for me has been the time to check my house expenses, asking for insurance quotes for house, life and car insurances, see want I can do more to reduce water and electricity, it has been a month of reflexion so that 2011 starts the best way.

I want 2011 to be a out of debit year. Let’s see if I can accomplish that.

I found these SMS messages somewhere on the web sometime ago and I couldn’t resist to post them here. Come on, let’s relax a bit.

Do you know the present value of your husband’s policy?” the life insurance salesman asked his client.
“What do you mean?” countered the woman.
“If you should lose your husband, what would you get?” asked the salesman.
The woman thought a minute, then brightened up and said, “Probably a poodle.”

Life insurance agent to would-be client: “Don’t let me frighten you into a hasty decision. Sleep on it tonight. If you wake in the morning, give me a call then and let me know.”

I was sure that my life insurance amount was too high so I decided it was time to as for life insurance quotes in different companies. Guess what? I got lower prices and I was excited about it because I really need to lower my expenses.

As you know car insurance prices vary from one insurance company to another. If you need a car insurance or if you want to lower the bill of your actual insurance then compare. How do you do this:

- Make a list of all the insurance companies you might want to contact
- Ask each of one for car insurance quotes
- Compare the prices
- In case you have more insurances (home, life or other) if you can get a package price in the same isurance company
- Negotiate the price – say that you have a better price from another company

Insurances are very expensive and sometimes, if we don’t look for several quotes we end up having a huge bill to pay.
