Why Insurance Should Be Part of Your 2025 Resolutions

Making insurance part of your New Year's resolutions might sound strange at first. After all, it's certainly not as common as the typical pledges to hit the gym more often or finally learn that new language.

For those that might be curious, a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found that the top resolutions for 2024 were improving fitness (48%), mental health (36%), and diet (34%) – and we can expect similar trends in 2025.

But here's why adding insurance to your resolution list might be one of the smartest decisions you'll make this year.

Protect Those You Love

First, if you have loved ones depending on you, reviewing your life insurance coverage should be a priority. Life changes quickly – maybe you've welcomed a new family member, bought a home, or changed jobs in the past year. Each of these milestones can affect how much coverage your family needs. Taking time to evaluate your life insurance ensures your loved ones have the financial protection they deserve, giving you invaluable peace of mind throughout the year.

Find Some Spending Cash

Second, a thorough review of your home and auto insurance policies could put extra money in your pocket. Insurance companies frequently update their discount programs, and you might be missing out on savings opportunities. From bundling policies to installing smart home devices or maintaining a clean driving record, these discounts can add up to hundreds of dollars annually – money you could redirect toward your other 2025 goals.

No More Surprises 

Lastly, health insurance deserves your attention, especially if you're over 65. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and having the right coverage is crucial. Whether it's reviewing your current plan or exploring Medicare supplement options, understanding your health insurance coverage helps prevent unexpected medical bills that could derail your financial stability.

Making insurance part of your New Year's resolutions isn't just about checking boxes – it's about securing your financial future and protecting what matters most. While it might not be as exciting as planning that dream vacation, the peace of mind you'll gain is priceless.
