Car insurance during your retirement years 

As with many programs and policies you’ve managed over the years, it is a good idea to re-evaluate your car insurance as you approach retirement. 

In general, what you need is proper coverage so you aren’t left in a financial bind if you end up in an accident. For each person and situation, the right coverage is going to change but if you haven’t evaluated your car insurance recently, make sure to take this opportunity to do so. Learn more about car insurance coverage and much more as Matt and I continue our conversation on this episode! 

Travel insurance 

Is it a good idea to get travel insurance? You may not need travel insurance for inexpensive trips, but it can provide a sense of security when you prepay for pricey reservations, a big international trip, or travel during the COVID-era, which can be unpredictable. 

According to Matt, when it comes to a more lengthy trip, yes you should get some time of travel insurance. When you’re considering travel insurance for an upcoming trip, you’ll be happy to know that some components of your trip may already be covered. For example, when you book a trip with your credit card, depending on the card you use, you may already receive trip cancellation and interruption coverage.

So when deciding on what level of coverage you need, check to see what you already get with your credit card. I’m speaking from personal experience here, you might already be covered, check it out!
