Best Answer

First, never purchase whole life insurance unless you have exhausted all other investments. Meaning, you are contributing the maximum amount of money into your 401K, IRA's, Bonds, ect. Whole life should be the last investment you should make. Buy term insurance and invest the difference. Cash in your current whole life policy and roll it over into an IRA. You won't be taxed if you roll it into a traditional IRA. Read more about finances in David Bach's book "Smart Couples Finish Rich."

The option to increase the death benefit with dividends is called "paid-up additions". If you select "paid-up additions" then dividends will purchase additional death benefit which will increase the total death benefit of the policy. This will also increase the cash value of the policy.

Can you drive without insurance with collectors plates?

No. You still need to show proof of financial responsibility. You can purchase a liability-only type policy that protects you from claims made against you by the other driver if you are at fault in an accident.If the vehicle is worth a bit of money, you should probably obtain a stated (or agreed) value policy, that protects your investment should it be damaged in a collision or otherwise. A stated value policy is not limited by actual cash value(depreciated value) like a standard personal auto policy.Talk to an insurance producer licensed for your jurisdiction.

How To Decide If You Should Purchase Inexpensive Auto Insurance?

Depending upon the current condition of your vehicle, a costly, comprehensive policy may not be warranted. Although general liability insurance offers little protection to vehicle owners and their vehicles, the overall expense of full coverage may not be justified when your automobile has an ultra low value. Online value estimate sites can help you get an approximation of the current worth of your car. This is an essential tool in determining whether or not you should spend additional money for your insurance. If you find that the cost of a comprehensive policy is close to the current value of the car it is definitely advantageous to opt for a more basic form of insurance that essentially fulfills the minimum requirements of the state in which you live. If additional features appear to be necessary, such as protection against hit and run drivers and car theft, you can purchase these as optional add ons which will allow for a more cost-effective final price.

Should homeowner insurance be the same amount as the assessed value of a condo apartment?

No. The assessed value is for tax purposes and it is based on what should be the real estate value based on sales in your county. Depending on what kind of policy you have as your homeowner's policy you probably need the replacement cost value and not the real estate price.
