2 weeks ago, I get a quote for car insurance. $630 for 6 months. Higher than most here I'm sure, but I'm only 24. So I call back today to purchase that policy and it's now $720. Exact same coverage, they copied the details from my previous quote. They couldn't offer any explanation about the increase other than "our rates must've gone up." I haven't had any changes that would affect it, no accidents, tickets, claims, no lapse in coverage, no bankruptcy, etc. I can understand the premiums are going to fluctuate a little, but +14% in 2 weeks? Come on! And the worst part is that this company is still hundreds lower than the competition, so I have no choice but to suck it up.
You may also remember my earlier thread about dealing with the state of florida on my car registration...finally got that mess solved, I decided the risk of running an expired tag wasn't worth it. Most of the threads I post here probably make me sound pessimistic...but I'm not that way in real life. Everyone just seems to be out to hose me these days...the bond funds...the insurance companies...the state of Florida...the list is endless.
