RE: WHY DOES PAYING MONTHLY COST MORE THAN PAYING ANNUALLY?
I’ve wondered about that too - like, is it really just about “administrative costs” or is it more about the companies wanting to lock us in? I tried paying monthly for a while when money was tight, but it always felt lik...
RE: Would you risk a higher deductible to lower your insurance bill?
