It's the dreaded words of "Back to School", for most children. In the insurance world it means we should be looking out and making sure the vehicle that was stored for summer now has the correct coverage to make the journey back to school. Remember only the minimum coverage does not get your vehicle repaired or replaced, its only liability coverage for in case of an accident. While the kids are young is the time to explore having maybe a life policy or final expense policy set up for the unexpected moments in life. Is your household set to be able to move on for a month or year if the household paychecks change? Come on in or call and we can discuss options available.
