Cable isn't half as bad as the satellite ripoff...Yay guys! I wish you guys never had to deal with big storms but you both also live in nice places......
I worry bout you Tammy the most.....you are a happy woman who is happy in your home....I just don't want to see anything ruin that for you.
Insurance
I know that I don't like anyone telling or forcing me to buy anything, especially to an industry that traditionally (is #1 or #2 largest congressional political donors)...naw, we won't talk politics.
That said, I can't complain, Erie insurance will never get even, I simply won't live long enough even if I live another 30 yrs! For me, insurance has been a good thing. Even so, I hate dealing with ins companies, I think we all do.
BTW-- the other is the Cable industry
Luckily I'm part of a very large group policy. My health insurance is both employer paid, (now thst im back at work)and very good.Yes. The Bank owns your house so you have to buy insurance. As far as that goes Erie has proven to be a better one. We do have to have it. However, I absolutely can't stand medical insurance companies. They make their own policies that change every time you turn around. Then they put doctors offices that have seen you in person through untold paperwork to get those orders followed. I've seen this happen many times because of my corn allergy. They also usually don't support any more than they have to locally and family owned pharmacies. I could go on and on about the real harm that they do. So yes I am Martha the old biddy telling them to just shut up and put your money where your mouth is. Then they might for a bit but as soon as you turn your back they come up with a new hoop to jump.🥴
Don't get me wrong I use insurance and sometimes it works. The worst ones for me are the health care ones. Since most of US medications are made with corn it's really hard to get them to comprehend a dang thing. Don't give me a pill made with corn starch. I need something made with tapioca or potato starch instead. They figure it costs more so I'm not worth it 😉Luckily I'm part of a very large group policy. My health insurance is both employer paid, (now thst im back at work)and very good.
Even when I was still living off of just my pension. That $800 a month seemed like much better money spent than my homeowners insurance. I have at least one medication that is twice that all by itself.
I also qualified for a life insurance policy of 5x my yearly pay.
Something I could never get with my list of pre existing conditions.
So, I'm not anti insurance.
I'll probably just pay what's left on this little house and drop the hurricane policy. And just keep enough money on hand for a roof replacement and a few other things.
This place was built in 1971. It's been through some wicked storms. Only the roof shingles and part of the fence flew away. And that was all before the new windows. Doors and roof modifications I've made.
