I’m doing a paper for my grade eleven economics class on premium financing insurance and I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent books out there on that topic. Or, if there are no decent books out there on just that one area, then a solid book on life insurance would also be a great help. I’ve looked at some book selling websites and my local library, but I’ve only been able to find a book or two and they seem pretty out dated.
I’ve found some information on line about premium finance insurance, but I don’t want to base my whole project on information I found on the internet. My teacher also wants us to use other sources, like books, TV news reports and newspapers.
I’m not necessarily looking for in depth information, just a couple of resource books that explain quite plainly what it is besides telling me it isn’t something you need to obtain cheap life insurance and that it is geared towards people who have a whole lot of money they need to protect. I’m going to have a lot of trouble writing a five paged paper based on just that information, so any help would be appreciated.

When we first started this game of cat and mouse, give and take, love and loss, it wasn’t that much of a challenge for us. Only three people ever worked at Barney’s portable spas store at a time, and the summer months were just busy enough to keep them occupied.
Obviously, we asked Barney first, but we had no plans of taking ‘no’ for an answer. Apparently, he didn’t know of our plans because the first time he caught us, he flipped. He literally chased us out of his store with a broom. It was cartoon-like (then again, so were most of the late 80’s and early 90’s).
Being the proud children that we were, we could not let Barney’s actions go unpunished, so the next day we met at the arcade, we plotted to get back at him. Three of us embarked on a trip to Barney’s, and while two of us darted through the maze of portable hot tubs while Barney gave chase, one of us went covert and vandalized a handful of hot tubs and spas with every vulgarity we knew of at the time.
We did this a couple days a week for a few months, until Barney successfully lobbied the strip mall landlords for a security guard.

I’ve never really considered information security to be a high priority in my life. Most of my sensitive documents such as bank statements, credit card statements, and old tax returns are stored under lock and key in a file cabinet in my home. In that respect, and very much like a packrat and I keep everything.
After watching a news program a week ago, I realized that my information was not as safe as I thought. Coupled that with my need to make some room in my file cabinet, I decided that I needed to do something about it.
I went online to the website that my employer purchased a Destroyit shredder to see if they had any personal shredder options. Thankfully they did, and I looked for something that would work for me.
After a couple clicks, I had no idea what I was looking at. They talked about things such as strip-cut and cross-cut which was like speaking in a foreign language to me. Before I went any further, I decided I should maybe find some good buying advice that would help me make an educated choice.
I was able to find a paper shredder buying guide that not only helped me learn the jargon, but also put me in a situation where actually knew what I was looking for.
I returned to shredders iShop and proceeded to look through their selections of different home shredder models to find the one for me. It arrived yesterday and I tried it out for the first time today. Not only is my file cabinet relieved to have more space, but I have peace of mind knowing that no one will be able to reconstruct the documents to be used for nefarious purposes.
