Happy New Year!

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:49 am

Final thoughts for 2008:

  • Be safe tonight.  Don’t drink and drive.  It would be a terrible way to start 2009 in jail and with higher auto premiums.
  • Commit to starting 2009 out with a written risk management plan.  That way you will have a better chance of being happy this time next year.
  • My commitment is to be a more consistent blogger.  I guess that’s my resolution.  Keep me honest!

My very best to all of you for a happy, healthy, and safe new year.  Here’s hoping you slide in ahead of the tag all of 2009!

Check your 2009 Health Savings Account updates

Does your company provide a Health Savings Account (HSA) for your employees?  Maybe you’re an owner or an employee who has an HSA.  I’ve had my own HSA as a sole practitioner consultant for the past 2-plus years.  Today, I learned that the allowable amount to contribute to your HSA goes up to $3,000 in 2009.

In 2008, the maximum amount was $2,900.  With a couple days left in the year, you should check to see how much you’ve contributed to date and make a last second contribution to max it out if you can.

Avoiding the rage this holiday season

Road Rage, Aggressive Driving…whatever you want to call it.  It is a reality during this time of year when everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere.  You will find it in mall and post office parking lots, highways, and even local streets.  How can you avoid being a victim?

Be safe out there!

Protect Your Pipes and Pets this Winter

Very good article that was posted on the local NBC affiliate’s web site here in Seattle.  Since the Puget Sound is getting dumped on, I thought I would share this with you.  No snickering from Arizona and Florida, okay?

Follow me on Twitter

Have you heard about Twitter?  It’s a micro-blogging site.  Basically what that means is it’s a miniature blog - 140 characters or less.  I just started in with my insurance consulting “handle”.  Follow my insurance micro-blogs on Twitter at www.twitter.com/insurancego2guy.

Cheers,
