So many stories of people having to fight tooth and nail for coverage they’ve paid a handsome price for.
I can’t imagine what a gut punch it is when your home is damaged badly and the agent wants to play, “Lets fuck this guy!”

UGGHH! Just saying the word insurance makes throw up in my mouth a little.

You want to talk about a scam. About a year ago we had to get a new homeowner's policy on a second home we own in Savannah, GA. Two companies denied writing a policy because we had filed a claim on our primary residency in Wisconsin within the previous 3 years, despite never having filed any claim on the GA property. That is basically saying, since you are the kind of person who expects to actually use the policy we sold you, we're not interested in doing business with you.


That's what I'm afraid of. I think of insurance as catastrophic coverage. But where I'm currently living, people seem to see it as a way to cover their roofing expense and it's gotten more expensive over time. I understand it went from $8,000 to reroof a whole house to $18,000.

My neighbor seems to have gotten his roof done two years in a row. He says the roofing company goes to bat for him and hires a third party arbitrator. He says he's going to dump his insurance before they dump him.

I think you can never get ahead with insurance companies.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
