An Affair with a House Everyone, no matter how rich or poor, enjoys saving money. For example, a few weeks ago a multimillionaire real estate investor friend took me to a lavish lunch, which must have cost him at least $100. As we were leaving the restaurant, he saw the city “meter maid” coming down the street. All of a sudden he sprinted to beat her to his Lexus with an expired parking meter so he wouldn’t get a $20 parking ticket.

A few years ago my insurance agent made a wise and profitable suggestion. He said I should cut my liability coverage on each of my properties to $300,000 and take out a $2 million “umbrella policy” to give me better coverage at lower cost. Don’t tell the insurer, but my $700 annual premium for $2 million excess liability coverage is a genuine bargain. If you have net worth over $1 million, you can probably save money by following the same strategy. Check with your current insurance agent, plus one or two others, to see if a similar tactic can save you insurance premium dollars and obtain better protection. Incidentally, my umbrella liability insurance policy not only provides excess coverage for insured property liability, but it also provides automobile liability coverage if I should be at fault in an auto accident.
