Ditch Your Resolutions Day Is For Diets And Ex-Boyfriends, Renters Insurance Is More Important!
Ditch Your Resolutions Day is designed for the resolutions that you know you should make, and that you make with the best of intentions, but that you never really wanted to keep. Did you really want to stay away from that person you used to date who’s always on your mind? Nope, not a chance. If you did, you wouldn’t make a resolution about it. You’d just do it. Did you really want to give up steak in the new year? Nope, and the same idea applies – you wouldn’t talk about it, you’d just do it.
Ditch Your Resolutions Day isn’t for important things like renters insurance. Things that important aren’t even really resolutions, so much as they are items on your to-do list. As you check them off, you feel good, but it’s not because you kept a resolution. It’s because you’re getting good at this “adulting” thing. Part of being an adult is making sure that you’re protected if you cause a loss to someone else, and also making sure that you’re protected if there’s a loss to your property that you couldn’t pay for on your own.
Did you buy some stuff last year? Think about how much money you spent on “stuff” in your apartment over the last year. Thousands of dollars, at minimum, even if it’s just basic personal property. Could you spend all that money in a single shot to replace it all if your drunk neighbor set the building on fire with fireworks on New Year’s? Probably not. That’s why renters insurance is part of your to-do list, and not a resolution.
Great Time To Evaluate Exposure
The beginning of a new year is a great time to think about your exposure, too. Instead of Ditch Your Resolution Day, it should be “think about how screwed I would be if bad stuff happened” day.
No, really. Think about the cost of replacing all of your personal property.
If a water pipe burst, and it was no one’s fault, think about how much it would cost you to stay in a hotel for a week while they fixed it, and then add to that the cost of replacing your waterlogged stuff. Then think about how much worse that would be if it were a sewer pipe.
Think about how violated you’d feel after a burglary. Would you even feel safe in your home anymore? Would you want to stay somewhere else for a few days? Think about the cost of that, and the cost of replacing everything that the burglar stole. If you don’t think you’d feel violated, consider this chilling claim: A nineteen year old college student had her apartment burglarized and her television stolen. The thief took the blanket off the bed where she sleeps and used it to wrap the television to protect it while he transported it to his own home. Someone broke into her house, stole her stuff, entered her bedroom, and took the blanket she sleeps under every night. An event like that would make most people more than a little uncomfortable, if not give them a feeling of complete and utter violation.
Think about what the rest of your life would look like if you were responsible for a fire because you plugged too many things into an outlet. All your neighbors, your landlord, and a ton of other people would be looking for money from you, and that would not improve the quality of the rest of your life, nor give you much to fall back on at retirement.
That’s why it’s important to evaluate your exposure – how much you’d suffer if there was a loss. It’s pretty significant, but it’s important to know exactly how you’re exposed and what risks there are. All you have to do to protect against the vast majority of risk is to have renters insurance, and the best part is that cheap renters insurance is the norm in NC.
