Just the other day, a part of Toronto died in a fire (no one was hurt, thank god), but a whole section of the city burned down, about 12 buildings I heard? (Correct me, Canucks!)
Not only was the area just declared a Historic site last fall, lots of people lived above and below the shops, and many many people lost their homes that day.
I mean as you can see, the place was literally burned to the ground.
Which brings me to my blunt point: GET APARTMENT INSURANCE
It’s only maybe up to a MAX of $50 a month (I paid $14) but imagine if something like this ever happened to you and you didn’t get apartment insurance because you were too lazy to get it, or you didn’t want to put money towards something so ‘trivial that will probably never happen to you’.
I’m here to tell you that it could, it can and it may very well happen.
You could even get discounts through your car insurance, or even through the bank you’re loyal to. They may give you a really good discount – look into it.
Thus ends the public service announcement de FB 🙂
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.
Now I am self-employed, and you can read more about 
Mel: I’m a bit of a freak for it too.
Mrs. Micah: Everyone should get insurance, or at least ensure they have some form of saving their items in case something happens.
Chocoholic: WHAT? You would’ve thought she’d learn from the first time!!
Canadian Saver: ….I really feel for these people. I hope they had insurance. For so cheap, how could you not?
Lady Luck: GOOD 🙂 LOL
I’ve been thinking about it forever…and you just reminded me. I’m making the call.
It has to be heartbreaking to suffer such a loss. You are right, insurance is a must!!!
[I once had loaned all my 1st year university books to a friend whose apartment burned down… no insurance, no books back!]
Yep, I made sure to get apartment insurance just in case this ever happened to me. I worked with a woman who had two apartments catch on fire. She lost everything, twice. They didn’t have insurance either time.
Makes me glad we got insurance as well. 🙂
I’m an insurance nerd. If I can get insurance on it, I have insurance on it. I definitely always made sure I had renters insurance. Heck, even my horse is insured. Hopefully, I’ll never have to use any of it, but I’ll be glad I have it if the worst happens.
