Many of you have either seen the video or heard the story about ‘Dave the Psychic’. If not, here’s a brief account. Dave acted as a psychic and chose random people from the streets of Brussels and convinced them to participate in a TV show called ‘Dave the Psychic.’ He then led each person into an isolated tent and sat at a table holding the participant’s hands, pretending to feel their energy.

Is Retirement Savings Really Necessary
10 May

Not many of us think about retirement. The reason is obvious; when we can spend money now, why save for the future? We can use the money we earn to watch our favorite movies, go on those dream vacations, tor even buy a house! The opportunity and desire to spend is immense in this materialistic world. Be it for comforts or prestige, each one of us earns money to have a better life. However, what we are often forgetting is our ability to work will someday expire with our age. When we are no longer young and bold, we will have reached the age of retirement. And if you think saving is tough

When is the Best Time to Buy a New Home
8 May

If I tell you that now is the right time to buy a new home, will you buy now? We all know the answer is no, or a polite, ‘heck no’. But the truth is, the best time to buy a house depends on your individual circumstances and goals. I wasn’t particularly interested in becoming a home owner to begin with, but that changed after the birth of my daughter. I wanted her to grow up in a familiar and safe neighborhood and develop a sense of belonging to a certain geographical location that she can call ‘home’. My reason might not resonate with everyone, but it was my deciding point to invest

That moment when you think your wait is over and you are ready to buy a fancy new car, your excitement remains at its peak! But sadly, it drops when it comes to signing the papers. Why can’t car buying be as simple as they show in their commercials; where the actor test drives his car alone around breathtaking locations with no other vehicle in view? He returns with a smile which says he has found his soul mate in car form, signs a document, takes charge of the keys without any hitch, and the dealership staff wave a happy goodbye to him with big smiles on everyone’s faces. Is

“Innovation is the only insurance against irrelevance” - Gary Hamel
To an innovative person like me, the best part of being human is being confronted with difficult situations on a daily basis. The difficult situations we all face make us better as we learn to solve them. We have heard the saying, ‘smooth seas do not produce skillful sailors’. We navigate life everyday faced with several problems; some are easy, others are not. One such experience inspired me to start InsuredMine.

Why you may need Umbrella Insurance
4 May

 

There are a variety of insurances that cover you and your belongings. Vehicle insurance, life insurance, and house insurance, are just some examples.

Why Insure?
Insurance can be a confusing term for non-finance wizards and finance is a puzzle in itself. The modern world runs on making money. After all, who does not want an income source?

Do you have enough Life Insurance?

Too little or too much? How do I know how much is right for me?
One cookie…Two cookies…Three cookies
How many you want is not necessarily how many you need.
The answers to the common question of how much coverage is the right coverage is as varied as the variety of cookies there are in this world. But insurance is no cookie business. In the event of a crisis, your life and your entire well being depends on how you are covered.

When Life Gives You Lemons

….You’ll be better off Insured!
Someone once wisely said “it’s the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.”
This statement is so true because we don’t know what’s going to happen next. Life is an unpredictable journey and nothing is guaranteed. With some planning, however, we can be prepared for the unexpected and minimize the risks. This way of managing risks is called Insurance. With insurance, you transfer the cost of a potential loss to the insurance company in exchange for a fee, known as the premium.

Whether at the top, middle, or bottom… we are always a work in progress
10 Mar

We are all guilty of being negligent, vulnerable, or disorganized at times... especially when it comes to paperwork. But the fact is, not everyone is born with good organizational skills. Organizing our documents and important files takes a backseat for the majority of us. It could be due to lack of time or simply the inclination to procrastinate. Organizing your insurance documents is just a part of this ongoing issue.
