NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast · Insurance in 2026: Best Auto, Home, Life, and Pet Insurance Picks—Plus a Wake-Up Call on Credit Card Debt · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

So if your pet had a condition before they got enrolled with pet insurance, anything that happens as a result of that condition that requires treatment isn't covered by your pet insurance, usually.

So getting on pet insurance when your pet is young before they develop all those conditions can definitely make it more bang for your buck in terms of what you pay for pet insurance.

I recently got pet insurance as well this year and sort of the same equation, which was we have a fairly young rescue dog and we've got a lot of years ahead of us and hopefully good ones.

And I don't want to have to make decisions based on finances.

I want to make the best decision in the moment that I can.

And that's what pet insurance is for.

So the last thing that I wanted to talk about as well is life insurance.

So you mentioned life insurance, and I'd like everyone to get on the same page with this, which is you need more life insurance than you currently have.

And that's a pretty blanket statement that I can make for most people.

you probably maybe have group life insurance and it's usually not enough.

So if you have a mortgage, if you have kids, at NerdWallet what we say is if you're in a position where your death would place a financial burden on anyone, you should have an individual life insurance policy.

So go investigate and explore that right now because rates only increase with age.

So it's not getting any better than it currently is.

So go out there and figure out if you've got enough life insurance and what that should look like and get on that.

Yeah, and term life insurance is going to be sufficient for most folks.

It definitely is more affordable than people imagine.

So this is a pretty exciting process.

We start with a lot of insurers in our selection pool.

I think for auto insurance, it's something crazy, like 125 insurers.

And what they do is the team assesses which insurers are available in a majority of states.
