Being a freelancer is tough enough. If something happens to your laptop — basically your whole office in one delicate package — it can be a catastrophe for someone with a dozen deadlines, living paycheck to paycheck.
So what happens if a pipe bursts in your walls? Or someone breaks into your apartment? Or a small electrical fire two floors down results in firefighters breaking in your windows so they can hose down your bedroom?

Simply put, renters insurance is worth the cost. For as little as $125 a year — what’s that? a pair of shoes? — you could be making sure that your laptop is covered against fire, theft, and water damage. Most policies will cover up to $2,500 (just ask about restrictions on business related property).
