According to the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas unemployment rate has 
risen to 6.0 percent in the last few months, with the overall U.S. average hitting 7.2 percent. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that forty-eight states have registered over-the-year increases in average weekly layoff claims.
Though the unemployment rate of 6.0 percent is lower than a number of cities around the nation, many workers in Texas are still feeling the hurt. If you’ve lost your job due to a layoff or company downsizing you are probably looking for ways to save money. You can start by skipping the Starbucks in the morning or eating at home versus going-out. You may even have to postpone that trip to Hawaii this year and put your money to a better use. Changing little things like that here or there won’t radically affect your lifestyle, but make sure not to do anything drastic. One of the worst things you can do is pare down your insurance policy just to save a few bucks.
After losing your job, your newly acquired frugal state of mind may lead you to ask yourself “Do I really need so much homeowners coverage?” or “Would it really be such a big deal if I had less health insurance, it’s not like I’m sick right now.” It may be tempting to lessen your policy, but insurance is something that cannot be taken lightly as it may just save you thousands of dollars in the event if a disaster.
If saving as much money as possible has become a necessity and you feel strongly about obtaining a new, more affordable insurance policy, turn to a truly Texas agency. Tri Star Insurance Professionals, Inc. servicing the North Dallas, Frisco, McKinney, Allen and surrounding areas, is familiar with the Texas economy and can find you a policy or a bundle of policies that won’t break the bank.
Tri-Star Insurance carries a wide range of products including auto, home, renters, flood, condo, individual and group health insurance, personal and group life insurance policies, and all areas of business insurance. Not only is Tri Star native to Texas, but also a proud member of the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas, which is an organization for the state’s leading independent insurance agencies.
The difference between an independent insurance agency and a captive agency such as Nationwide, Allstate or State Farm is that captive agents can only provide you with the rates offered by their company. Independent agents can represent multiple companies such as Germania, Kemper, Hartford, Travelers and more to find you the most competative rate.
