On The Search for Car Insurance

I spent part of my weekend working on finding new car insurance. It does not matter if you have been with the same company for ten years, I high advise people to check out their insurance products on a regular basis. It is a good thing that I did! I found out this weekend that I was overpaying on the amount of car insurance I had. The reason was not as clear cut as I had hoped, but I did learn that getting new insurance is a fairly easy process now, compared to when I first purchased it years ago.

There are some great reasons to look for car insurance, like saving money. Our policy is the same one we have had for several years. I knew I needed to update it at least to ensure we had enough coverage in case something went wrong. What I found was that I was paying too much.

Our vehicle was not worth as much as it was covered for. I was also able to get a safe driver discount because I have no moving violations on my driving record and I had no accidents or claims. In addition, I found that one company was willing to give me a significant reduction in price just for switching to them.

All of these things combined made the hour I spent looking at options worth it. I was able to save a good deal of money on my car insurance and I believe that I have a better policy now than I did earlier. That matters when it comes to having the right coverage for your family. Things like insurance are things you have to have, but you do not have to pay too much for them to have that level of security you need and desire.

I’m Back to Business!

All I really wanted is to have my own business – while staying at home. I tried it 2 years ago and while remembering how my first business went, I would say that it wasn’t too bad at all. And so I tried it again early this year, but wasn’t able to continue. Then a few weeks ago, I DECIDED! I decided to continue under a brand new identity. I made the first step of purchasing some items within my starting capital, then fixed my online shop.

So far, it’s giving me worries because it seems like I’m starting all over again and it’s not turning to where I’m expecting it to be. But then, I CLAIMED IT! I claimed that this business is for me and I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up and running. I know it’s difficult because I am alone, but I believe that I can do it.

For me, every little helps. Good thing there are home everything coupons that I can use to save up on my pruchases. I always make it a point that I buy items on offer because that way, I can offer them to my customers for less – much more if I will have additional discounts through the use of the coupons.

I am hopeful that this business venture of mine will find its way to the top.

CC: Sensitivity

Hello again my CC buddies! So sorry for being absent the last 2 weeks. Just got busy with something… :P

Then, just in time… Sensitivity is the topic and I guess I have something to share. ;)

Well, I believe both of us are sensitive in different ways. Like him, he gets so sensitive whenever I raise my voice. He always feels like I am shouting at him, but hell! What can I do? I grew up with my granny and titas who talk like they were a mountain away! :lol: And we hardly realize that we’re actually shouting. For us, that’s how we talk normally most especially if we are exaggerating something. But after 2 quarrels about it, I believe he’s accepted that he married a mega phone.

Me, I think I’m really sensitive that I get hurt most of the time even though I know he doesn’t mean it. But recently, I always feel bad whenever we talk about the pasalubongs that we are going to give our family. I’m hurt because whenever her parents ask for something, whatever it is, no matter how expensive, he always gives in and I am even the one pushing him to purchase them. But I can’t understand why when it comes to my family, it seems like giving something is so hard. That everything must be cheap, sale, etc. I can’t even feel that he’s so much willing to give. There comes a point when I thought of working hard to earn not for myself, but for them. I always want to give my family what they need, because they really NEED my help. While his parents and siblings only ask for they WANT.

But then again, as much as possible I keep those to myself. He doesn’t know I am feeling this way. I just don’t want further discusssions or arguments about it, because I know for a fact that he CAN give whatever his family wants, while I CAN’T. (Parang nanggaya lang ako kay Ate Liz… haha!)
