I know I’m getting older when I start reading and writing reviews about insurance books. I’m not a big fan of the “dummies” books for a few reasons: (1) First my ego. . . I have to admit I don’t want a book on my shelf that is a dummy guide for anything, and (2) I don’t want to buy another reference book that is going to sit on my shelf and collect dust. I purchased this book b/c I had big questions about car insurance, life insurance, and umbrella policies. No concerns about house insurance, which seemed to be the biggest complaint about the book. Quite frankly, it answered all of my questions. Before reading this book, I didn’t even know the difference between collision, liability, and comprehensive insurance; and I had no clue how much insurance I should carry for that “break glass in case of emergency” type accident. And like all of the dummy books, the text is informative while remaining engaging , and actually entertaining-even though the subject is insurance. I actually feel empowered after reading this book. It led me to purchase an inexpensive umbrella policy (if you don’ t have one, you need it) that will certainly make me sleep better at night. This is one of those books that after you read/reference it, you’ll wonder how you ever operated in the past without the knowledge it contains. Don’t put too much trust in earthly treasures, but you should certainly protect what you do have! Recommended.

This book is worth its weight in gold. I originally picked it up while doing research on life insurance options. But after reading the first chapter on auto insurance, we called our agent, raised our libability limits and deductibles, got rid of unnecessary coverage and ended up saving ourselves $250 a year! The author, who has worked in the insurance industry for years, makes things plain and simple and illustrates his points with easy-to-understand charts. Now I feel like we actually have a clue about what we’re buying, and I feel much more secure knowing we’ll likely be well covered in the event of a catastrophe. This should be on every homeowner’s bookshelf.
