The Umbrella Strategy
For roughly $20–$30 a month, an Umbrella policy provides $1 million in extra protection. It is the single most effective way to protect your home and retirement accounts from a catastrophic legal judgment.
Collision & Deductibles
If your car is worth more than $5,000, keep Collision and Comprehensive coverage. To lower your bill, increase your deductible to $1,000. This switch can reduce your premium significantly, provided you have the cash set aside to cover that amount in an accident.
