💾 Liability vs. Full Coverage – What’s the Difference?
Liability Only
Covers the other person if you mess up. That’s it.
You hit someone = Their stuff is covered.
Your car? On your own. 🤷🏾♀️
Comprehensive + Collision Coverage (a.k.a. what lenders require)
Also known as “full coverage” (even though that’s not really a thing). If your car is leased or financed, the bank or dealership is gonna require this combo:
- Collision (accidents)
- Comprehensive (theft, weather, fire, etc.)
🏠 Why You Need Renters Insurance
It’s not just for your clothes and couch. Renters insurance covers:
- Your stuff (in and out the house)
- Hotel stays if your place is unlivable
- Liability if someone gets hurt in your spot
💡 Starts around $15/month. That’s less than your DoorDash order.
💍 Jewelry Insurance: Protect That Drip
If your jewelry isn’t listed separately (aka scheduled), your regular renters or homeowners policy probably won’t cover the full value.
- Covers loss, theft, damage, even mysterious disappearance
- Pays full replacement value
- Doesn’t raise your home/renters premium
💎 Keep shining without worrying.
☂️ Umbrella Insurance: The Boss-Level Policy
Umbrella insurance kicks in after your standard coverage runs out. Perfect for:
- Car accidents with major damage
- Lawsuits
- Injuries at your rental property
If you got assets, a side hustle, or kids — this is your grown-folks backup plan.
🔥 Top 3 Insurance Mistakes (and How to Dodge ‘Em)
- Thinking the cheapest policy is the best one
→ Cheap coverage = expensive problems later - Not updating your policy after life changes
→ New car? New boo? New zip code? Tell your agent. - Skipping the fine print
→ That “not covered” list? You wanna know what’s on it before something pops off.
