Honestly, bundling isn't always a bad deal. I thought the same thing at first—figured companies were just sneaky about it—but when I added renter's insurance to my car policy, the discount actually made it cheaper overall. Guess it depends on what you're bundling and your personal situation. Still, you're totally right about checking the math... laziness can cost you.
Had a similar experience when I bundled my luxury car and homeowner's insurance. At first, I was skeptical—figured they'd just pad the numbers somewhere else—but after crunching the numbers, it genuinely saved me a decent chunk each year. Still, you're spot-on about doing the math yourself... companies bank on people not bothering to double-check. Always worth spending that extra 10 minutes to make sure you're actually getting a deal.
"companies bank on people not bothering to double-check."
Haha, ain't that the truth... I once got super excited about bundling my beat-up Civic and renter's insurance, thinking I'd struck gold. Turns out, after actually doing the math (painful, I know), I saved exactly... $4.32 a year. Enough for one fancy coffee, maybe? Definitely worth crunching those numbers yourself—sometimes the "deal" isn't quite as shiny as it looks.

Haha, true enough, but honestly... even if the savings are tiny, sometimes it's worth it just to have fewer logins and less paperwork cluttering my inbox. Convenience counts for something too, right?
Convenience is nice, sure... but have you thought about how much those tiny savings add up over a few years? I'd rather deal with an extra login or two if it means more gas money in my pocket.
