Read your home owners policy

So it's tax season.  Time to review things.  My homeowner's policy has a mandatory Personal Belongings coverage, which I can drop no lower than $236,500.  I'm an I/T introvert nerd - I haven't got 100k worth of sh*t in my entire house, including the garage (I know this because I recently did a moving inventory).

 

But this is interesting.  Even if I did have 100k worth of stuff -- the policy wouldn't cover it.  $230k of mandatory coverage... for less than $50k of coverage.
