digitaldisciplineBecause my previous insurance company chose not to renew my policy, my annual home insurance bill is doubling this year because Citizen's Protective is the only entity that will insure GMBAN. Yeah, that's gonna be a fun chunk of change to cough up. How about the rest of you Floridenizens?
What frosts my McNuggets is what isn't touched on in the article - that private insurance companies don't need to be more affordable than Citizen's Protective, the supposed "insurer of last resort," which is intentionally more expensive, so as to encourage people to get insured elsewhere. If the financial incentive isn't there for us, as consumers, to choose someone else, then why would we?
Also on the un-fun side of things was the price quote for new tires for Zim, since his are getting a little threadbare. *prepares to cough up ~$650*
Note to self: Get another price quote for a quartet of 195/50 R16's.
On what may or may not be a related note.... the Fearless Freak Forecasts have all been memory-tagged for ... well, someone might care.
