Decision Guide
The right insurance coverage depends on your personal circumstances there's no single answer that works for everyone. A useful way to think through it is to start with what you're legally required to carry, then layer in coverage based on what would cause you the most financial hardship if something went wrong without protection.
Most adults need at minimum auto insurance if they drive, health insurance to manage medical costs, and life insurance if others depend on their income. Homeowners need property coverage. Business owners need commercial protection. Beyond those essentials, the decision comes down to your specific assets, obligations, and risk tolerance.
Starting with those answers makes it easier to prioritize coverage without overbuying or leaving dangerous gaps.
