Because peace of mind shouldn’t take all day.
We get it. Reviewing your insurance policy isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time. But what if we told you that you could spot major gaps in your coverage right now, with just five minutes and a few quick questions?
Think of this as a mini check-up — not the full doctor’s appointment, but enough to catch anything that might need attention before it turns into a crisis.
Ready? Start your timers.
1). Has anything in your life changed recently?
New job? New baby? New side hustle? If you’ve had a major life event in the last year, your insurance needs have likely changed, too.
For example:
- A new job with a longer commute might affect your auto risk.
- A growing family might mean your life insurance coverage needs to be updated.
- Starting a business from home might require extra protection on your homeowners policy.
If your policy doesn’t reflect your current reality, you might be underinsured without even knowing it.
2). Could you afford to replace everything in your home out-of-pocket?
If the answer is “no” (and for most of us, it is), then ask yourself: do I have an up-to-date home inventory?
Most people think their homeowners or renters insurance covers everything — until they file a claim and realize their stuff was undervalued or undocumented.
Take five minutes to walk through your house with your phone and record a quick video. Narrate what you’re seeing. It’s not glamorous, but if you ever need to file a claim, future-you will be so glad you did.
3). What’s your deductible — and could you cover it today?
Knowing your deductible ahead of time helps you avoid sticker shock during an emergency. If your deductible is $1,500, do you have that amount set aside?
If not, you might want to talk to your insurance agent about adjusting your deductible or setting up a small emergency fund to cover it.
4). Do you know what’s NOT covered?
Many policies don’t include things like flood damage, mold, or sewer backups — and finding that out after the fact is the worst time to learn.
It’s worth checking:
- Do you have loss of use coverage if your home becomes unlivable?
- Does your auto insurance include roadside assistance or rental reimbursement?
- Is your jewelry or laptop fully covered?
If any of those made you pause, it’s a good time for a quick policy review.
5). When was the last time you talked to your insurance agent?
If it’s been a while (or you’ve never met them), that’s okay — but a real person can help you sort through what matters way faster than reading a 40-page policy.
