PLEASED

"What'll I do with all this cash? All that cash up in my stash?" - sung to the tune of "My Humps" - duh.

Okay so not a lot of cash, but I have to gloat for just one second. Thanks to my daily stalking of my finances on Mint.com, I noticed my renter's insurance didn't hit my bank account in the month of February. I decided to e-mail my super-duper insurance agent/friend and find out why.

Turns out, Allstate bills me a little more each month ($5.28 more) than what they should. The minimum payment they can accept is $20 and my monthly premium is less than that. So I pay a little more each month to hit their minimum payment and what do you know? I paid out early! So I'm all settled for my renter's insurance until May - I won't be charged anything for February, March or April.

GENIUS!!!! Not that my renter's insurance monthly premium is bank-breaking, but it's still a nice surprise. Nice enough to brag about.

I am in such Good Hands®! Thanks Sam.
