Gotta like that

I just called to update my address with my car insurance company. I was expecting it to go up a little, since I am about twice as far from work and I thought distance from work was a big part of the formula.

Imagine my surprise when the agent tells me my premiums are about to drop by 25%. 25%, based on moving from one neighborhood to another. I think that's cool, and I guess I should have realized. I always feel so safe around there, where I didn't in my old place.

That's my bit of good news for the day. A little extra money in my pocket, to help cover the higher gas bill due to the extra miles. *g*

As your car gets older you may wish to seriously consider dropping collision & theft insurance. This is because the insurance company will only pay you the depreciated value of the car. My Acclaim has a book value of under $2000, so if I'm in any kind of significant accident, the insurance company is going to write it off and send me a small cheque.
