I hear you on the peace of mind thing. I used to think I was being smart by bumping my deductible way up, but after a fender bender in a parking lot (...
Can’t argue with the “it’s a gamble” angle. I get why people are tempted to go bare-bones, especially when premiums are through the roof, but honestly...
