Speeding TicketSpeeders Beware: Traffic tickets will cost you for years to come.

by Brianna Lonergan

With summer upon us, temptation calls for 'New Englanders' to put the top down, cruise to their favorite sunny spots, and focus on getting over those winter blues. But for those in too much of a hurry, those winter blues could be the least of their worries. If you find yourself in trouble with the law for having a heavy foot on the gas pedal, your insurance is bound to be equally as unforgiving. According to a study by the folks at Insurance.com, drivers with one speeding violation on their driving records paid an average of 18% more for their insurance policies than those who didn't. (This study surveyed 32,000 single driver, single car policies.) Those with two violations paid almost 34% more, while those with three tickets paid a whopping 53% more for their auto insurance!

Don't Bet Your Life On It!

Life Insurance Living without life insurance is just one of these 7 common life insurance mistakes.

The economy is (supposedly) recovering, but money is still tight. Costs are being cut in businesses and households alike. Knowing how to prioritize your expenditures in these situations becomes increasingly important, but insurance is one expense that you should never skimp on. Life insurance, particularly, provides some peace of mind for the inevitable uncertainty life has to offer. An online poll conducted by MSN Money indicated that 39% of respondents would try to cut back on life insurance premium over other insurance costs, including homeowners, auto, and health insurance. Understandably, life insurance is often the only one of these that we're not required to have. However, life insurance is often very affordable and could be the only protection your family has to survive in the event of a tragedy.
