Allstate Insurance Agent: Marco Cabezas

If you know you've done all you can to minimize the effects of possible unfortunate events knocking on your door this month, then get in planning mode because April brings some pretty fun ones to celebrate! Digitally, in real life, or both ways, it'll be awesome to get some shenanigans going around them. Can we get this "party" started, then?

It pays to be so smart and prompt to take action, Elizabeth McGivney!!! When it comes to securing adequate coverage AND answering our word puzzle ...YOU JUST WON $50 for submitting the right answer and being randomly selected! If others reading this are wondering how easy that was, here's one last chance to try it (minus the $50 prize - this one is Elizabeth's now): "What four-letter word, starting with B, becomes its own synonym if you change the B to DEF?" - -... - - - - - ANSWER: BEAT (to form DEFEAT).

Life can be stressful - we pretty much live to minimize that truth, so we understand how you feel. But April is #StressAwarenessMonth, so let's keep it in check! Assuming that we already got all the coverage pieces you need in place, now relax by playing the color game. Honestly, it can be strangely fun! For most (properly insured) people, the answer at the end is, "I didn't think about much - just finding color objects." How relaxed do they sound, huh? You're next!

Answer: Driving you crazy... IF you didn't back up your data! We're doing everything we can to protect you from April's foolishness. Are you onboard? Get prepared today - it’s #WorldBackupDay! Tag your friends to remind them to back up their files too.

Now, a non-imaginary challenge: name all states where auto insurance is NOT required. (Scroll for answer) - - - -... - - - - - If you answered New Hampshire and Virginia, you are only half correct. A policy may not be required BY LAW, but...in the event of an accident , if you are at fault, you are liable for most or all of the damage/losses suffered to all involved parties. So, don't you agree that it actually is pretty much required...BY LIFE? If you're still hung up on the required/not required thing, chances are your coverage could use a review . That for sure won't cost you anything - yet, it may save you from financial ruin one day...
