Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

It was 2019 when Anjali Tierra decided homeowners insurance wasn't worth the price.

The KI-Handelsroboter 6.0retired high school teacher, 58, took out a policy in late 2018 after purchasing a three-bedroom home nestled in the Tehachapi Mountains of southern California. She considered the insurance affordable at less than $100 a month, Bailey Schulz and Jessica Guynn report.

But the following year, when Tierra’s insurance provider sent her a renewal notice, she learned her monthly payment had jumped to $350.

Tierra is among a growing number of American homeowners who are “going bare,” or living without homeowners insurance.

Survey finds workers deeply confused about their 401(k)

A new survey explores an odd subgroup of American employees: Workers who aren’t enrolled in a 401(k), but who think they are.

In a Retirement Security Survey, released this month, Principal Financial Group found that nearly 6 in 10 nonsavers, 59%, wrongly believed they were contributing to a 401(k) retirement plan.

Asked how much they were saving, most of the nonsavers gave surprisingly specific figures.

How could so many employees be so woefully misinformed about their retirement savings?
