It’s happened to many of us. We’re watching television, listening
to the radio, flipping through the pages of the newspaper, when
suddenly we see an advertisement for an insurance company. Maybe they
specialize in health insurance, or maybe it’s life insurance. Perhaps
auto insurance is their focus, or they’re known for their great
homeowner’s insurance policies. Whatever kind of insurance it is, the
advertisement catches our eyes, and before we know it, we’re visiting
the insurance company’s Web site, or on the phone with one of their
insurance agents, finding out how they can save us money if we cancel
our current insurance policies and purchase our new insurance policies
from them.
It all sounds so good, but as we’re walking away from our computers, or
hanging up the telephone receivers, we can’t help but wonder: does this
mean we’re cheating on our current insurance companies?
Well, yes it does. But that’s alright, because unlike in the world of
romantic relationships, cheating on your insurance providers is
perfectly acceptable. Why? Because it may save you loads of money in
the long run. Keeping your bank account healthy and happy is much more
important than remaining in an expensive relationship with your current
insurance company, isn’t it?
Just because you and your insurance agent are on a first name basis
doesn’t mean you have to remain loyal to that insurance company. Just
because your husband plays golf with your insurance agent doesn’t mean
you have to keep paying outrageous insurance rates. You are entitled to
better insurance rates, and if it means cheating on, and eventually
ending the relationship with, your current insurance provider, then so
be it.
Remember, when temptation calls, don’t ignore it. Pick up the phone,
turn on the computer, or even drive to the nearest insurance agent who
represents the new insurance company. Cheating on your current
insurance provider simply means you are interested in saving money.
