Presentations

Home Owners:
This is an insurance for your homestead, it is not required in iowa unless you are making payments and do not own your house. There are many different types available to get. This is a very important form of insurance that would be a good idea.

Health Insurance:
Insurance for expenses or loss from a medical procedure. COBRA is for an employee who leaves their place of work. There are several choices for insurnce that covers different procedures. you need to get insurance from an agency. not required by law.

Life Insurance:
Provides a present amount of cash if you die that term. Temporary and permanent insurance is available. Not everyone needs to get life insurance but if you have a family or business it would be a good idea so you could provide for them.

Disability Insurance:
This type of insurance is for when a person would be injured at the work place, or ill for a long period of time. It is a good idea if you work in a high rick working environment but is not required by law. If you were injured for a long time it would easily pay itself off.

Automobile Insurance:
In Iowa, liability insurance is required as a 20/40/15 policy. It is a good idea to have because the medical cost for the passengers in the car and the damages to your car can add up to very high sums of money. There are many different places to get it, and can come in handy.

Liability Insurance:
This presentation went well. If i could change one thing would be the placement of when we presented becuase in all insurance choices, liability is a form to choose from. Also, all of the work was done by me and there was no participation from my partner.

Inflation on the distant horizen- Inflation is veiwed as a distant threat because companies are starting to raise prices especially health care, energy, utlities and basic products like food and medicine. it is an opinion that if you want something now, buy it now because it is, again, a threat that it wont be able to be bought in the future with raising costs and inflation.
