Rising Cost of Insurance - Episode 532

Spencer and Kim discuss the rising cost and decreasing availability of homeowners insurance, and how people can prepare for potential future issues. A recent incident where a tree limb fell and damaged a greenhouse on their property led them to talk about the potential costs and benefits of having homeowners insurance, especially when it comes to damage repair and tree removal. They also touched on the increase in homeowners insurance costs and difficulty in obtaining it in certain areas like California and Florida. The hosts also discuss how life insurance can be a place to build up cash value that can potentially be used to replace or repair a property in case of an emergency. However, they strongly advise against turning down house insurance and self-insuring.  Prosperity Thinkers is proud to be an affiliate of the transformative Gravy Stack movement, helping individuals around the world unlock their potential and achieve financial freedom.
