I get this reaction all the time. If you prepare for a disaster, you may be somehow jinxing yourself and causing it to happen. It doesn't matter what the education level of the person in question is, it's a lot easier to ignore the problem than it is to prepare.

It's not usually that easy if you're after the best price/value. The cheapest price may not represent you the best price/value. Despite the fact that each of the quotes offered will definitely give you the same main coverage; there may be several differences in the details of each insurer's coverage.

It takes awhile to finalize the process of getting Flood Insurance, and if a flood occurs during that process it's not likely that you will receive coverage. If you are considering this type of insurance, then make sure you plan to purchase it well before flood or even rain season. Unfortunately, the majority of homes in Louisiana had no Flood Insurance during hurricane Katrina, and government handouts only go so far.

You'll also want some gear to protect yourself from the hazardous conditions of the wild. Local camping stores in your area typically sell hatchets, machetes, or other large blades that will allow you to get through tough brush. Additionally, you should consider purchasing rope. It can be used to escape bad situations.

Sue - Guys, there are lots of things we can do if we don't want to change our climate. And we don't have lost of time. We read one paper about how the climate changed from the last ice age in 16 years. Just 16 years. And the ice melted at the poles. We've got to get started doing something about this.

Phil - No one know what will happen if we have more gases in the air. The question is what if it does affect us? We can't wait until it happens to say "we could have done something earlier - why didn't we listen".

But just like President Obama's health care plan, Ryan's plan doesn't tackle health care costs. All Congressman Ryan's plan does is transfer the cost from the government to us, and not all of us will be able to afford it. A lot of people can't afford it now in the prime of their life. Imagine going out at age 70 trying to find health insurance at a rate that's affordable for you and still profitable for the insurer. Is that even possible? Can you imagine what health insurers will have to charge you when you're 25, 35 or 45 if everyone who's 60, 70, 80 and 90 is covered under private insurance?

You are in business to succeed, to make your mark in the world and make some money along the way. Here are some areas that could sidetrack your dream. Don't become sidetracked on a track that leads to nowhere or that derails you totally. Think about each point and then write down the ideas that come to you as you read. It may just surprise you.

Before purchasing a home, we must also consider the added expenses that will come up. When you do so, you will be thankful that you used your take home pay as a measuring line. What added expenses? Utilities such as heating and cooling come to mind. Additionally there is furniture to be purchased, entertainment equipment, as well as appliances. Also there will inevitably be home repairs, property taxes, homeowners insurance and/or Flood Insurance. You may want to make certain upgrades to your home, like a covered patio for those hot summer barbecues.

The reputation of a mold remediation company is important. By reading reviews about a company and even talking to those who have used the company, you should be able to find out whether a particular company can be trusted. You will not want a company that has a reputation for not leaving things neat and in order or at least trying to leave them somewhat better than when they arrived.

Phil - Class, today we are going to learn about a very important subject. It's called global warming. Take a look at your study packet. The first sheet has a few definitions.

And, you know that because your chances of getting lower quotes has to do with the range of quotes you get, the more insurance companies you obtain quotes from, the better your chances will be.
