	<description><![CDATA[There are lots of times in life when you might need the help of a good insurance agent. A trustworthy insurance agent can help you determine how much life insurance you'll likely need as you reach mileposts in life, such as having a baby or getting married. He or she can walk you through the complexities of homeowners insurance. And, ideally, a good agent can show you how to save money on home and car insurance rates.<br /><br />But just because you initially pick one person as your insurance agent doesn't mean the relationship will last forever. In fact, there are times when you should consider ditching your insurance agent.<br /> ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Advertising Feature. Whether it’s a home, a car, or even a pet, insurance is there to protect a valuable investment. Some may say insurance policies are a gamble, as you never know if you will actually need to draw upon the cover in the event of an accident. Others might argue that insurance is a ‘necessary evil’; something we are forced into buying as a result of our fear of the future. However, insurance needn’t be either of these things; in truth, it is more sensible to view it as a safety net, permanent protection for the things (and people) we love and care about. ]]></description>
