The Simple Dollar Announces Insurance Resource Center

HOUSTON, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's launch of The Simple Dollar Insurance Center means a whole new series of consumer resources for the long-established personal finance site. In addition to the no-nonsense savings advice Simple Dollar fans expect, there is now a collection of guides and articles across four areas of consumer insurance: health insurance, home insurance, life insurance and car insurance.

Each new section of the site begins with a 101-style guide, leading the readers through the principles and terminology of a given insurance category. After establishing the fundamentals, the guides then focus on the consumers' responsibilities – responsibilities like buying a suitable policy or disputing a claim. The guides were written by The Simple Dollar's new staff of industry experts; people who have either worked as insurance agents or have years of personal insurance experience. You can check out the contributors' qualifications here.

Complementing the Insurance Center's core guides are a series of articles that delve into the more specific, sometimes odder, dimensions of insurance. These articles cover the many offshoots of the site's core insurance material, topics like flood insurance or renters insurance are explored in great detail. There are also several blog posts where the site's authors reflect on the insurance mishaps they've dealt with over the years, both personally and professionally.

Finally, all four sections of the Insurance Center come with their own data-driven assessment of insurance in every U.S. state. With a decade's worth of stats on a state's premiums, hazards and economic activity, these pages are library-level resources for the average American. The pages also list out relevant state representatives and state-specific rules pertinent to the four new insurance categories.

Recent additions like the new team of contributors, the state-by-state info and the ambitious goal of giving consumers a complete, and free, insurance education are all solidifying the site's reputation. Each one of these improvements suggests The Simple Dollar is eager to bring their plain yet thoughtful advice to an even larger crowd.
