What’s an HSA and how does it help?

Car News on 30. Aug, 2009 | No Comments

Put simply, this is a reasonable flexible and tax-efficient way of providing health insurance for yourself. But it has one key advantage. Although you cannot borrow against the money saved, you can make a one-time transfer from an IRA into an HSA, and the money from the account passes like a cash inheritance when you die. So unlike the usual health insurance premiums which are “lost”, savings remain savings. The big question everyone who is eligible must ask is whether they want to self-insure. Obviously, if the savings are inadequate, the HDHP will potentially pay out. That policy is safety net but the coverage is limited. So you have to judge which works better for your family’s circumstances. If you feel confident that there will always be enough available to pay for treatment during your life, this is tax free savings with you in control of the investment. But if you don’t want to take the risk, a comprehensive health plan for the family may give you better peace of mind.

What’s the recession doing to the insurance industry?

Car News on 29. Aug, 2009 | No Comments

Should this make you worry? Well, look at it this way. The insurance industry is suddenly making a loss. Shareholders in general and the policy holders in State Farm are not happy. Senior officers of the companies want their bonuses. The for-profit companies are tempted to raise the premiums across the board to get their earnings back into profit. Except with a recession threatening to turn into a depression, that’s not going to work. Make the policies unaffordable and people stop buying. That’s why State Farms just dropped its auto insurance rates in Georgia by an average of 1.5%. For the record, this means the current premiums are 12% lower than five years ago. Since State Farms insures around one quarter of all vehicles on Georgia’s roads, this is a good deal. So the next time you’re shopping round for a cheap car insurance policy, you may be pleasantly surprised that the premium rates from an increasing number of insurers have fallen in other states. The next bill may not be quite as painful as you fear. (more…)

What to do when renting a car

Car News on 28. Aug, 2009 | No Comments

Except you need to be careful about the terms of the auto insurance included in the package. The rental company is interested in protecting the capital value in the cars so, before you sign up, check the cover for personal injuries. It may be worth paying an extra few dollars to top up the cover for medical expenses and loss of earnings. That said, if you give up your own car, there are big cash savings so long as the auto insurance cover is adequate. And, no desk agents giving you a hard sell every time you pick up the car!
