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.
