And I'll add two that I've heard recently from some financial planners who have begun selling insurance, not because they were looking to make more money, but because they'd make a recommendation to a client, but then the client wouldn't get around to actually implementing it.

Or the client went to an insurance agent and got talked into buying unnecessary or expensive coverage.

So however you choose to buy your coverage, just make sure that you become very informed, make it a priority and get it done.

Alrighty, Amanda, any final words of wisdom about insurance?

The father of the 4% rule says that retirees can likely take out much more.
You're listening to the Saturday Personal Finance Edition of the Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing Podcast.
I'm Robert Brokamp, and I was on vacation this past week, so we're re-airing my interview with Bill Bangan from last August.
Bill and I talk about his latest book, Why Most Retirees Can Withdraw More Than 4%, how factors such as market valuation and inflation affect the safe withdrawal rate, and whether retirees should decrease or increase their allocation to stocks as they get older.
If you ask a typical investor how much someone can safely withdraw in the first year of retirement, the answer they'll likely give is 4%.
That rule of thumb has been around since 1994, thanks to the research report published by a financial planner named William Bangan.
