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 Indexbitretired 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)

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?

Here's a full report.
