It’s time to shop around for insurance

My insurance used to be sky high. It was over $1200 a year for a small used car. I do have full coverage because the car is financed so I expected it to be around that amount. Then I switched companies and my premium went down to $900 per year. That was more like it […]

Would you ever get plastic surgery?

Keeping in mind that the economy is in the tank and it’s a frivolous purpose right now. Since insurance generally doesn’t cover cosmetic surgery, you would have to pay for it out of pocket.

My health insurance forms. I know they cover weight loss surgery if you’re grossly overweight but what if it’s considered cosmetic. I’m not grossly overweight, I’m just a little pudgy.
