Tim called me last week extend an invitation for today at 11:30 am with Kristian. Iron Age Korean Steak House was near the corner of Lake Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue in Glenview, Illinois, an area I grew up but have not been there in decades. Had a great duper memorable lunch. Tons of food, great food, had a few drinks, smiles, and tons of good ole fashing laughs and more laughs. Busted Timothy’s chops and had a great time. Love you Kristian, and Tim.

There are very minor reasons giving cops reasons to pull you over. Say you had a few glasses 🥂 of wine during dinner and you got pulled over by a cop for one reason or another. A cop can cite you for driving under the influence of alcohol even though your alcohol 🍸 BAC level is under 0.08. I know people who got into a lot of BS due to being pulled over by a cop.

How You're Giving Cops Reasons To Stop You

Years ago when you worked 30 years for a company and retired they gave you a gold watch, a pension and a thank you for being a loyal employee. Today if you work for a larger corporation they give you a pink slip at 55. You are now too old for the company. They can hire two of you and save a bundle. At 55 your health becomes a concern, data shows you will get sick and it will cost the company dearly. No more loyalty, what are you supposed to do at 55? No one will hire you, you’re old. To me age is only a number a concept. If you stay healthy and avoid stress, stress is the big corporate killer, you may live a long life. Diet and exercise will help. I have my own theories of exercise. A rabbit hops around all their life and it lives many 8 years or so, a dog runs and jumps and lives to 12. Now a turtle sit on his ass all day and lived to 150. Be a turtle, no mortgage, no HOA and extremely mobile.

What determines rural living? Being raise in NYC anything with a lawn was rural. Suburbia was the country to me. When I moved west and worked in vineyards I got a better idea. I can sum it up in two words. “Dirt Road” unsaved, pebbles is my definition, and a septic tank.

In the past, police officers extended professional courtesy to motorists who dropped names of a police officer who they knew, were friends, or family when pulled over for a traffic infraction or even a drunk driving suspect. The traffic offense violator dropped names of a person who is a police officer who were their neighbors, friend, brothers or sisters, cousins, school class mate, a parent, aunt or uncles, cousins, extended acquaintance, or someone who they met once long time ago. There are also instances where the spouse of a motorist is pulled over by a police officer like the case in the video attached. Regardless, those days are long gone due to body cameras and dash cameras.

Thousands of mortgage loan officers left the mortgage industry for good in 2023. Tens of thousands of loan officers have not renewed their mortgage loan origination licenses. The mortgage loan origination career have proven devastating to tens of thousands of loan officers. Just two years ago the average mortgage loan originator made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and their career was very promising. Many mortgage loan originators were so successful they formed teams and ventured to a P and L mortgage Branch model with a larger mortgage lender or broker. Other mortgage loan originators opened their own mortgage broker companies. Here’s a credible recent article about how many loan officers are leaving the Mortgage Industry

Insurance claims can be a complicated and stressful process. It involves filing a claim with the insurance company, providing supporting evidence, and waiting for the insurance company to review and approve the claim. The process can vary depending on the insurance type and the claim’s nature. It’s essential to have someone who can understand your insurance policy to ensure you know the coverage and claim process.

When you call your insurance about a hypothetical or possible claim, they must file a 0-dollar claim on your behalf. Not only does this leave a stain on your record, but also on your insurance score. That is why it is essential to have a trusted resource to help navigate the steps you should take.

What is an insurance score? And what effects it negatively?

Claims Activity

Missed Payments

Tickets

Roadside Assistance (usage is filed as a claim)

Low Level of Coverage

Fraud

Material Misrepresentation

Poor Credit

Now that you know what affects your score, you can better equip yourself for the insurance market. If you have any questions or want a trusted source to help guide you through the process, I look forward to being your insurance agent.
