akita. My parents want to give it away, but i like to keep it.
The insurance guy said, No one would sell you house insurance with this dog, when my mom ask to switch insurances.
Anyway i can make a deal with them that if the dog does something, i will pay for it, not the insurance company.

I currently work for an insurance agency and I sell homeowners insurance. I am considering getting a cell phone to answer calls after 5:00pm and on weekends. I am not sure how lucrative this would be. Do people primarily look for insurance during the week or do they seek convenience on nights and weekends?

While finding home insurance can be a daunting process, it’s important to have enough home insurance to cover your belongings, and the house you love, in case of an accident. Experts are warning that it’s important for homeowners to ensure that they have insurance to rebuild their home entirely in the same location. Having the right home insurance will make sure your livelihood is covered in case of accidents that can ultimately destroy your house. The warning that stresses people to be fully covered follows a recent report released which found that five million Brits are considering cutting back on their costs, including home and car insurance, during the current economic recession. A large proportion of those surveyed said that insurance cover was one area they were prepared to cut back on because they cannot afford it, leaving many experts warning that the decision could cause more harm than savings. It was also found that flood risk insurance in particular was one aspect that many people were considering cutting from their house insurance. Experts have warned that cutting flood damage or home contents insurance could lead to devastating and expensive consequences in case of an accident. It was noted that while insurance payments may seem unnecessary at the moment, it could lead to greater repair costs in case a natural disaster or accident does damage to your home. Consumers are being urged to seek the right insurance that fits their personal home and budget. Evaluating your coverage can help ensure that no money is wasted and that your home is continually insured against damage. Added to that, consumers are being reminded to ensure that their home insurance is up-to-date, and that you understand your current policy. It can be easy to forget to renew or increase your home insurance, but it’s an important step in ensuring that homes are fully insured against anything that could happen. In addition to home insurance, it can also be useful to have personal belongings insured in case of damage that can ruin expensive and sentimental items. There are also plenty of ways to save money while still keeping your home insured, including shopping around for the best agency and rates and requesting an inspection to prove the state of your home. Seeking appropriate home insurance doesn’t have to be expensive. Consumers can rest assured that they’re covered no matter what happens when they find the home insurance that’s right for their home and budget.

I got a job with a company which offerred me $7500 as relocation. After taxes, I received $4400 in my paycheck. So I paid $3100 in taxes! Now if I plan on leaving the company in less than 6 months, I know that I have to return the entire relocation amount. I suspect that I have to pay them back $7500. My question is – What about the taxes that I paid on this? Will I be able to get that back? since I’m returning the complete amount?

I live in the San Francisco bay area and I am moving to a nearby city soon. I know you are supposed to tip movers, but I’m not sure how much. Is it a percentage of the total cost?
Also, if a delivery person goes above and beyond in delivering an item for you, are you supposed to tip them, and how much if so?
