    Newb question / advice about insurance.

    Just don't leave us hanging. Let us know in a year if it matched your expectations. A good rule of thumb is to have 6 months expenses in the bank before trying it. I just used 2.5 months worth of mine over the changes in insurance in my home province. INSURANCE put me out for over 2 months. Smh

    Newb question / advice about insurance.
