Quotes to ponder:


"The decision whether or not to buy umbrella insurance really comes down to two things: assets and risk."


"The case for umbrella insurance is based on faulty logic: that your exposure is limited to the difference between your assets and the liability limit. It is not."


"Every state has protections against losing your primary residence and your retirement savings."
