Lower premiums

Renewal dates for your 2 policies are poorly aligned

Topic: Other Key Topics
Inc Prem: Decrease

You have 2 policies (Other-101 Rue-12 months/Other-David-12 months) that renew on 2/13 and 8/13. The fewer and better aligned the dates, the easier it is to manage your insurance - getting to one or two very close dates greatly simplifies the process. For this purpose, life policies are treated as annual policies and only included if the policy expiration is no more than two years in the future, and non-life policies renewing on the last day of a month are assumed to always renew on the last day of the month.

Topic: Property
Inc Prem: Decrease

If you increased your deductible to 5,000, you'd reduce your annual premium and in the same loss scenario your out of pocket expense would be 5,000. A loss may be manageable, representing 5 % of your future household annual income and 3 % of your household net worth.

Valentina should be excluded from coverage

Topic: Auto
Inc Prem: Decrease

It appears that Valentina should be excluded from coverage for your auto(s) since she does not have a license. If she does in fact drive, she should not be excluded and legally she needs to get a drivers license, but having insurance without a license is preferable to no insurance and no license. Some insurers surcharge for excluded drivers.

More coverage

Slip and fall accident at 101 Rue De Leon (FL): buy an umbrella policy

Topic: Liability and Limits
Inc Prem: Increase

If there was a slip and fall accident at 101 Rue causing 1,000,000 of medical injuries and other damages, the insurer would pay 100,000 and you would pay 900,000. A loss may be very difficult to absorb, representing 900 % of your future household annual income and 450 % of your household net worth. In this scenario, if you had an umbrella policy with a limit of 500,000, you would have a loss of 400,000 and with a smaller underlying loss, you might have no retained loss at all.

Buy a term life policy covering Lucy

Topic: Life
Inc Prem: Increase

Other ideas

Household annual premiums of 1,250 are big enough to devote attention

Topic: Other Key Topics
Inc Prem: Mostly neutral

You spend 1,250 each year on your various insurance policies. Your total annual premium is significant enough for you to spend some time trying to ensure you are not overpaying. It represents 1.3 % of your future household annual income and 0.6 % of your household net worth. Bear in mind that if anything changed on a non-life policy, you only pay for the portion of the policy term for which the endorsement was effective. To correctly compute annual premium, the cost of the endorsement for the full policy term must be included in the premium.

Your term life insurance covering David makes sense, is the amount appropriate?

Topic: Life
Inc Prem: Mostly neutral

Your existing term life may make sense for you, is it the right amount? On the death of David, your future household income would fall from 100,000 to 60,000. Your life insurance provides a benefit of 100,000 on the death of David. The death benefit represents 250 % of the annual decline in future household income.
