Expert Advice
Shop around for car insurance at least every year or two. You may be surprised to find a better deal with another insurer – or even a better deal with your own insurer. Compare quotes between multiple providers and review your coverage and discounts with an agent, if possible. Though renewal time is a great moment to do this, you can get a spontaneous quote — and switch your insurance, if necessary — any time the mood strikes you.
Background
Gayle’s been writing about personal finance, entrepreneurship, and parenting for more than 25 years. She started out as a staff writer and trends columnist for Entrepreneur magazine, penned a book (or two) about starting a business, and has been writing for a range of magazines and blogs ever since. Though writing itself continues to be a daily pleasure, for Gayle the best perk of being a freelancer is the lifelong learning. It’s why, in a pinch, she can list the pros and cons of gap insurance, explain the difference between a refundable and a non-refundable tax credit, and walk you through self-hypnosis for childbirth. When she’s not buried in research, she’s an avid knitter and home cook.
