Renters Insurance, Renewed

This morning, I received a call from Allstate telling me that my renters insurance was expiring, and that I should renew it and increase my coverage.

“How much coverage do I currently have?” I asked.

“It’ll cover $15,000 in personal property.”

I thought about the things in my apartment — the Crate & Barrel couch I bought off Craigslist for $200, the desk I bought for $50 (also off of Craigslist), my laptop, which is probably the most expensive thing I own — and said, “$15,000 should be enough.” I renewed my renters insurance for the year for the grand total of $102 — totally worth it if I get burgled.
