How to plug the holes in the state with the French savings. We had already done it in time Pinay: and it worked!  The French had made a massive gold of their nest egg against an annuity indexed to gold, and of course tax free, including the time of inheritance.  Today, we observe that the cumulative deficit of public finances is an order of magnitude quite comparable to savings accumulated by ants French.  So to state the solution is simple.  We see here the general popular enthusiasm when telling people "Oh, you think you have contributed a lifetime for your supplementary pension through life insurance?

INSURANCE TIP: KNOWING THE CONSTRUCTION TYPE OF YOUR BUILDING CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS During the insurance application process, your insurance agent will typically ask you the type of construction the building you own or lease is made out of.   If you own your building, you will typically know the information off the top of your head.  However, if you are leasing this question can be a little more difficult.  This question is very vital to insuring you properly.   Depending upon the type of construction of your building, the rates can vary up to  50 percent  of the base rate.   Also, answering this question incorrectly can cause you some significant headaches in the event of a claim, and could potentially result in the insurance carrier denying a claim. To help out, I want to provide a brief summary of the various construction types along with a short description of each.  This way when the question comes from your agent, yo...
PROPERTY INSURANCE AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TYPES One of the biggest factors in the cost of property insurance for charter schools has to do with something that most schools don’t think about at all.  It is the materials that were used the building the school occupies.  Selecting a building with more fire resistant materials can lead to significant decreases on your premiums. For reference, here the different construction types of buildings: 1. Frame Buildings Where the exterior walls are wood or other combustible materials, including construction where the combustible materials are combined with other material such as brick veneer, stone veneer, wood iron-clad, and stucco on wood. 2. Joisted Masonry Buildings Where the exterior walls are constructed of masonry materials such as adobe, brick, concrete, gypsum block, hollow concrete block, stone, tile or similar materials, and where the floors and roof are combustible. 3. Non-combustible Buildings Where the exteri...

Travel Insurance Costs and Pricing Travel insurance is a vital part of any enjoyable vacation or business trip. True, nobody likes to pay more to have a good time, but comparing different options lets you select a policy that meets your budget constraints and satisfies your love of adventure. Of course, it also helps to arm yourself with knowledge about what you should expect. Here are a few simple tips to get you started. What Decides Travel Insurance Pricing? While some sites and providers give ballpark estimates concerning how much of your total trip budget you’ll devote to travel insurance, the real costs vary widely based on your circumstances. For instance, a budget plan may run you about 3-4 percent of your trip cost, yet fail to provide satisfactory coverage. High-end options with all the necessary perks, on the other hand, could account for around 10-15 percent of your travel budget. Determining Trip-Specific Costs Most insiders agree that certain factors hav...

Reasons To Purchase Travel Insurance   From family vacations to business trips, travel insurance gives people the peace of mind that they are protected from unforeseen circumstances. These are some of the top reasons to purchase trip insurance. 1. Trip Cancellation Or Interruption With any kind of prepaid travel plans, trip interruption or cancellation usually comes with hefty fees or may not be refundable. Trip cancellation coverage allows you to cancel your trip for covered reasons and be reimbursed (pre-departure). If a traveler is unable to make the trip due to health reasons, a death in the family, work changes or other covered reasons preventing arrival at the destination, trip cancellation coverage pays for the financial loss. Trip interruption coverage allows you to cancel your trip for covered reasons and return home (while you are on the trip) while reimbursing your at risk trip costs and some or all of the costs to return home. If a traveler has to cancel...

History of Travel Insurance Travel insurance is thought of as a modern form of insurance, as it’s become especially popular over the last 50 years or so. However, travel insurance has existed in some capacity for almost 150 years. It has changed significantly in that time, with various new types of travel insurance coverage that protect travelers from illnesses, major and minor trip cancellation problems, kidnapping, acts of terrorism and many of the other potential dangers of travel. Travel Insurance Origins James Batterson owned and operated the first travel insurance agency in 1864. At the time, travel insurance was almost exclusively a product of the upper class and upper middle class, as few others could afford to travel. Nevertheless, the risks of travel were still significant for those individuals, as things like theft could potentially cost a traveler hundreds of dollars. Batterson’s travel insurance company covered all of the costs associated from theft and other une...

What kind of life insurance do U.S. soldiers receive and who pays for it? 2 Answers Christian Worstell , Staff Writer at TZ Health Media As Ryan mentioned, United States soldiers are provided with  Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance  (SGLI). This life insurance policy can be likened to a group plan provided by companies to their employees. The employee (in this case the soldier) pays a small premium each month for the coverage. As of 2014, an SGLI policy was good for up to $400,000 in coverage available in increments of $50,000 and includes coverage for traumatic injuries as well as death. Obtaining the full $400,000 in coverage cost $29 per month for eligible members that include: Active duty members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard Cadets or midshipmen of the U.S. military academies or those engaged in authorized training and practice cruises with th...
