I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually gone the other way a couple times—maybe out of paranoia, maybe just because of some bad luck early o...
That’s not even an exaggeration. My nephew borrowed my car for a week while his was in the shop, and when he got rear-ended, the adjuster asked a mill...
Honestly, I get the appeal of paper—there’s something comforting about having a backup you can actually hold. But I’ve had the opposite experience a c...
Totally get where you’re coming from. I tried Metromile for about six months last year because I thought I’d save a ton working from home. But then li...
