It just blows me away how many types of insurance is available to us these days. At my parents house, I found a box in the basement over the weekend, that had several old local phone books packed away in it, back from the 70′s. As I took a cigarette break, I took the time to browse through some of them and was amazed on how different things are, now that we are in the 21st century. I had an uncle who was an insurance agent back then so I looked to see his ad, for grins and giggles, along with several other businesses and folks that I had an interest in or a relationship back then. A short trip down memory lane via the Yellow Pages, who would have thought!

Anyway back to the insurance issue. Back then the big push was in home, life and auto insurance, while these days the whole ad space could be totally filled with the large variety of insurance policies that are being offered. Policies like accident insurance, funeral insurance, guardian insurance, renters insurance,boat insurance, pool insurance, van insurance, tool insurance, travel insurance,  pet insurance, income insurance and the list just keeps on keeping on. So many policies, so little time……………..OMG!

Today I had a bit of time and looked up a few insurance companies while I was online and found that I am definitely behind the times when it comes to the issue of insurance. I even checked out some insurance companies out of the United States and got a quick education from reading those. Whether it was life insurance Australia style or Horse & Rider insurance for the Irish, I can say that insurance has come a long way and that there is policy out there for just about everything for everybody, everywhere. An interesting read…………………….
