When was the last time your insurance company called you up and said:
“We’ve reviewed your profile and we’re cutting your insurance rates?”
With more people working from home in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some auto insurance companies cut their rates or refunded premiums to their members. But that’s about it. And even then, it was effectively the same amount for everyone.
What about your life insurance? Health Insurance? Home or renters Insurance?
The fact is that if you want to save money on your insurance you need to proactively understand insurance market trends and apply for new insurance policies.
