Tackling Insurance! (Part 1)

Insurance is one of the most complex financial topics out there – so we’re doing TWO episodes on our Making Cents of Money podcast to make sure we cover it all! In Part 1 (now available online), we talk with Patrice Dziire, Deputy Director of Consumer Education & Protection at the Illinois Department of Insurance, about auto, home, renters, and life insurance.

Part two will tackle health insurance – send any questions you might want answered to studentmoney@uillinois.edu!
