Car Insurance
Since my check to the insurance company for a painful amount of money just cleared my bank account, I can’t help but wonder if I should have spent a little bit of time looking at auto insurance comparison to see if I could get a better deal. When it comes down to it though, even though I had to spend my entire stimulus check on my insurance, I’m not sure I could have gotten a much better deal. When I got onto my own policy a year ago, I got quotes from many, many different companies, and the company I was already with beat them all. I lost my longevity discount because the sales guy on the phone was an idiot who messed it up when moving me to a new account, but I still get a discount for my education. They just dropped about $100 dollars off of my premium at the beginning of this billing period because I had a claim fall off my record, and when I turn 25 in a couple of months, I should get another discount for FINALLY no longer being an “underage” driver. In fact, if I remember, I’ll call them right after my birthday to see if I can get a pro-rated discount for the remainder of my current policy (I pay the whole 6 months at one time to save myself a little extra money– it’s not much, but every little bit counts.) If I recall correctly, we were able to do that when I turned 21. We’ll see how that turns out, but I think the only conclusion is that car insurance is freaking expensive.

Full coverage, eh? I think by now you know how much I wish I would’ve sold my firstborn to pay for that!!!
