Insurance Sucks - yes, I said that. An insurance agent saying that insurance sucks? I could get fired for this. I should probably clarify...paying the insurance bill sucks. I don't know of anyone who enjoys paying for insurance, or for electric, or for medical bills. Really, any bill...
However, in this episode, I go through the top 6 types of home insurance claims, how much on average they cost per claim, and why we should be VERY thankful we don't have to shell out that kind of money if any of these issues should happen to us. Maybe paying that insurance bill isn't so bad after all!
