Go through an insurance broker. Every couple years I try to do this just to make sure I’m not getting royally screwed.

Years ago I liked a specific Progressive Insurance agent but then one year my rates jumped up like 20%. Perfectly clean record for my family and no other reason than I was told by my agent than the insurance company was doing it to all customers. Switching actually gave me a cheaper rate than I was already paying.

Insurance companies are out to make money just like any other company. A broker will help pair you up with multiple offers and help you compare.

Check your employee benefits at work too. My company offered a broker as an employee benefit so I was able to do it through them.

I lost my job to goat snuggling. The pandemic made it easy for me since I worked from home to sneak out to my local farm and just take a couple snuggles here and there. Thought it wasn’t harming anyone.

But when I returned back to the office, I couldn’t stop. I just couldn’t. I tried snuggling with other animals like dogs, cats, and birds but it just wasn’t the same. I had to have more. Eventually I was snuggling goats in the office thinking I could hide them.

Boss called me into his office and HR was there. Sent to goat rehab and eventually got clean. But then I saw them again at the Kutztown Fair this year and I lost it. This time I stopped showing up to work and was fired.

Stay away from goat snuggling, it’s a very dangerous road to go down.
