How do you choose the best deductible for you?
I find it crazy to have 2500 and claim anything less than 10k. Most repairs i've done at home has been over 4-5k and I will pay out of pocket.
Does it make sense to get a 10k deductible if im willing to pay out of pocket for most repairs?
Now if i have a 10k deductible, I wont claim if the damage is 11k. So isnt it essential the same as having maybe 15k deductible?
As experts, when will you actually file a claim and how big are your deductibles?
I think i will only claim if half my house got destroyed, but is the cost saving to out of pocket expense worth it?
I see insurance as catastrophic coverage only, but what is the best balance for other clients who may claim maybe 2k-3k? I've grew up in a household where we will always have back up and emergency savings to cover these things. Never really saw insurance as a need other than when we get sued for 1,000,000 or like a huge 100k loss.
