From: g_1
I live in North Florida, near Jacksonville. I don't have any expensive
items at my home other than my laptop(worth about 900) and live alone.
Rest are just clothes, books, utensils.
I tried Geico and its yearly premium is 131 for choosing deductible as
100, personal property coverage as 5K and personal liability coverage as
50K. They don't have insurance for property worth 1500(which is what
total cost of all my belongings would be) and it claims that insurance
will reimburse you to buy a damaged product at present time. For
example, if my laptop whose worth was 900 when I purchased it and it
gets stolen(heaven forbid) after 3 years when its worth will be 400 or
less, Geico's insurance will pay me enough to buy a laptop worth 900
which i find hard to believe. It is called "Replacement Cost Coverage:
The replacement cost benefit provides coverage for the cost of replacing
a covered item without penalty for depreciation. Even if you've owned a
particular covered item for some time, with this benefit you'll be able
to replace it at today's market price. Item must be replaced prior to
receiving this benefit. "
Am i reading the policy correctly or are there some other caveats?
Anybody has experience with Geico for renters insurance? Any other
insurance providers i should look into?

I haven't had renters insurance for more than 25 years, but you definitely
want replacement coverage. It really does mean that they will replace, at
current prices, whatever was insured. We had a pipe break in the ceiling
while we were away for the weekend, and the water ruined the tv, stereo, and
the computer and printer. The landlord repaired the damage, but it was the
renters insurance that replaced the electronics. That was back in the days
when a small color tv cost $500, a vcr cost $200 and our 5150 computer
set-up cost over $3k! And that's all in 1982 dollars!

Thanks for the advice, I forgot i have a bed which costed me 425. Don't
have a car, TV or any stereo. All my clothes/ vessels would cost around
800. No furniture other than chair/table I bought for 85$(total) from
Walmart.

Since i have to account for the bed which costed me 425 so all my
belongings would cost around 2.5K or max 3K.

That approach is pretty common now.

Before you need it, make sure you documant your belongings and reciepts. Take
pictures, and store them offsite.

Whether you prefer to call yourself "ape," "monkey," or "sheep," we
are all animals. All the evidence is there, even when you try to
ignore it. Take a dog, we all do the same thing mundane things he
does. Except that we are smarter. Well, many of us don't try to be
smart and just follow the master, ie. God or whoever claims to
represent him. You know what I mean?
So unless we choose to be smart we are an animal. But hey, don't go
sniffing around for a trail to the truth. This is it.

Google groups merely stores and gives a web access to usenet. It is also how
huge numbers of spammers post to usenet. Google usenet for more info.

Do you find that you can't sleep, or that you have nightmares?
Here's some practical advice:
1- WALK
2- RIDE A BIKE
3- DRIVE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE...
And at the end of the day, you may find it easier to sleep.
WARNING: This advice may have some positive side effects such as
losing weight.

1. Not viable where I live. I'll go for a jog or walk to the neighbors,
but the closest store is about 8 miles away.
2. Not viable where I live. Again for fitness, I'll ride for few miles,
but, when it comes to transporting goods, a car makes much more sense.
3. No thanks, cars are more than just appliances to me. Sure I could
drive a 1 liter shitbox, but I like the idea of having 400+ HP at my
whim. Gas is cheap.

I guess that's the problem. It's too cheap.

YUP. They should tax the crap out of it. My closest neighbor (1/8 mile up
the road) drives a hummer the 5 miles into town to his Pizzeria. I'm not
exactly sure why he needs it, since he's at the dive all day, every day, and
therefore clearly never drives it off road, but at least he's not driving
huge distances in the ridiculous thing. Too bad. He should be paying a LOT
more for gas just for owning that obscene thing! What are people thinking?
Oh wait, they're not thinking at all :(

Well, those who have vehicles that use more fuel are paying
proportionately in taxation already. I have no problems with that. It's
my choice to drive a muscle car. But I don't think the government should
artificially create rules and regulations that get in the way of what
the people want. In Britain for example fuel is taxed heavily. It all
but forces people to drive smaller, less powerful cars. You have to be
rather wealthy in Britain to afford a petrol powered V8 car or SUV. If
they had more reasonable (by North American standards) fuel taxation,
they probably wouldn't be driving diesel hatchbacks around.

I drive a Subaru Forester, but I'd drive something smaller if I could afford
it. I bought the 1997 Forester 3 years ago for $5k with 150k miles. At the
time I needed to go to the post office daily with a hand truck full of
stuff. Now that the post office does free daily pickup I'd gladly switch to
a really tiny car, but I can't afford to dump a perfectly great car just to
get something smaller. Since I work at home I don't have a lot of mileage,
but still, I wish I could afford to get a smaller car. Unfortunately, most
smaller cars with good gas mileage are actually newer, and therefore more
expensive, than the car I currently drive. It's insane, but that's the way
it is, at least around here in the boonies. I can't wait until I can get a
tiny hatchback for less than $5k!

I've been saying that taxing the gasoline 5 bucks more a gallon will
make all kinds of good things happen.
I don't why the politicians who are always looking for money haven't
noticed.

They wouldn't fit in their roads and who cares about cars that are
bigger outside and waste gas for the hell of it.
My favorite car (most fun, lots of character, perhaps most roomy) has
always being a 2 cylinder '72 Honda 600. Now Honda cars seem big, fat
and stupid, except for the Fit. Next I like the 3 cyl. Geo Metro.
That's all you need to go under 70mph.

And the taxes should be a hell of a lot higher on fuel than they are.
They should be so high that you would have to find another way to
compensate for what you lack. It is idiotic to drive a V8 and thumb your
nose at any type of conservation. The "cost" of driving is a hell of a
lot more than is paid at the pump.
