What Insurance Do I Need When I Am In My 30s?

Another decade of your active life... time for settling in with a new home and family and growth in your assets.  Life is stressful but fulfilling.  Your 30s are often a time of major life milestones—career growth, homeownership, marriage, and starting a family. With these changes come new responsibilities, and insurance becomes more important than ever. Having the right coverage ensures that you’re protecting your income, assets, and loved ones from unexpected events. You realize you have more responsibilities and more at risk. Do you have the right insurance for your protection? Maybe yes, and maybe no --- here are some things you need to know to make an informed decision, suggested by  www.businessinsider.com. 

Ready to close on a New Home?  Homeowners insurance is required to protect the structure of your home, your liability exposure, and your belongings.  Your Trusted Choice agent will work with your realtor and your lender and will assist you in determining the appropriate Replacement Cost to protect your home and belonging  from fire, theft tornadoes, flood and other natural disasters.  Liability coverage will protect you if a visitor is injured on your property Also ask about discounts and credits you can apply to your policy for well-maintaining your property and removing hazards, as well as fortifying your home to protect against perils, and making your home more energy efficient.

Increasing the size of your family?  Life insurance and Disability Insurance should be on your horizon for the future needs of those you love if you should be injured of die.  Check with your Trusted Choice Agent for options.  Calculate your coverage needs at www.lifehappens.org 

How Are You Feeling? Comprehensive health insurance is a must. Look for plans that offer good coverage for preventive care, chronic conditions, and family needs. If you're planning to start a family, review maternity and pediatric benefits closely. If someone depends on your income—like a spouse, child, or aging parent—life insurance is essential. Term life insurance is affordable and provides coverage for a set period, often 20 or 30 years. It can help pay off debts, replace lost income, and cover future expenses like college tuition.

Cruising in a Fun Family Vehicle or Nice Ride? By your 30s, you may be driving a more valuable vehicle or have a family to protect. Make sure your auto policy includes adequate liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage. Consider bundling with home insurance for discounts.

Ready for a Umbrella?  As you accumulate assets and wealth, you have more to lose, so you should look at adding a low cost umbrella insurance policy to your portfolio which will give you extended protection over your underlying policies.  Your Trusted Choice agent will offer you options to enhance your protection.

What Insurance Do I Need When I Am in My 20s?

Life speeds by... you have fun and work hard in college, get a degree, and you open your eyes and find yourself out on your own.  You must make your own decisions and embrace life.  You have a new job and are finalizing major purchases.  Do you need insurance for your protection?  Maybe yes, and maybe no --- here are some things you need to know to make an informed decision.

Buying a New Car?  You will definitely need auto insurance, but the rate varies based on the make and model of vehicle.  Before you make your final decision, check with your Trusted Choice agent to find out which of your favorite models is the least expensive to insure.  Also ask about discounts and credits you can apply to your policy for good grades, safe driving record, and more.

Getting a New Apartment?  Renters insurance is highly recommended and is very inexpensive.  Liability coverage will protect you from property damage or injuries if something bad happens on your property.  Contents coverage protects your furniture and electronics in the event of a fire or theft.  Check with your Trusted Choice Agent for options.

Hunting For A New Job?  At every age, health insurance is highly recommended.  The cost is less when you are young, and will protect you in the event of an unfortunate accident.  Ask your employer what is offered, and take advantage of wellness programs.  If your employer does not provide the coverage, discuss with your Trusted Insurance Advisor.

Walking Down the Aisle?  Many things change when you combine households.  Combining auto policies may even save you money.  Look into a Wedding Event Policy to protect yourself from liability exposure and problems with your venue or cancellations.  You will want to be sure that your new beautiful ring is covered too!

Thinking You Will Live Forever? Even if you’re healthy, health insurance is non-negotiable. A single emergency room visit can cost thousands. If you're not covered under a parent's plan, explore employer-sponsored options or marketplace plans. Look for coverage that includes preventive care, mental health services, and prescriptions. You might think life insurance is only for older adults, but buying a term life policy in your 20s can lock in low rates. It’s especially important if you have student loans with a co-signer or dependents who rely on your income.

Taking a Big Trip? For frequent travelers, especially internationally, travel insurance can cover trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and lost luggage. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind on your adventures

Final Thoughts Insurance might not be the most exciting part of adulting, but it’s one of the most important. A little planning now can save you from major financial headaches later. Talk to a trusted advisor to tailor coverage to your lifestyle and goals.
