Insurance 101

Insurance can help protect you, your loved ones, and your property from unexpected financial risk or loss, and is a key part of any financial plan.

Insurance 101


Insurance is not a "set it and forget it" decision — you’ll want to re-evaluate your needs on a regular basis or at major life events such as a new job, moving to a new area, or birth of a child. This module will explore different types of policies, how insurance works, and how it affects your money to help make sure you have the plan that works best for you.
