RE: Deciding between just liability or going all-in with full coverage on Liberty Mutual
Honestly, I get where you’re coming from. I just bought my first car and was shocked at how much full coverage adds to the bill, but thinking about how much even a minor accident could set me back... yeah, I couldn’t ris...
RE: Shelter vs. State Farm for home insurance in Missouri - any strong opinions?
Honestly, I get why people are frustrated, but I’m not sure it’s always as bad as it sounds. My neighbor had a claim with State Farm after a kitchen fire, and they actually did a pretty good job matching her cabinets and...
RE: Getting Cheaper Car Insurance by Proving You Drive Less
That’s what gets me too. Like, sure, I want cheaper insurance, but I’m not about to swerve into a pothole just to avoid a “hard brake” on their tracker. Real life isn’t a driving simulator. I get that they want safe driv...
RE: Digital Forms Vs. Old-School Paper: Which Makes Claims Smoother?

RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?
I totally get what you mean - it’s like, if I’ve been loyal and racked up points, why can’t I stack them with a coupon? It feels like the system’s set up to make you pick one “reward” instead of actually rewarding you fo...
RE: Letting friends drive your car in MN: better to add them or rely on permissive use?
Honestly, I get where you’re coming from, but as someone who just got their first policy, I was super paranoid about this exact thing. My roommate only borrows my car for Target runs maybe twice a month, and I called my ...
RE: When The Other Driver Disappears: Uninsured Motorist Coverage In Action
Honestly, I used to think paying extra for uninsured motorist coverage was just another way for insurance companies to nickel and dime us. But after hearing horror stories from friends - like, hit-and-run with no way to ...
