RE: Deciding between just liability or going all-in with full coverage on Liberty Mutual
Honestly, you’re not alone in feeling stuck between options here. I remember when I first dropped full coverage - felt like I was living on the edge for a while, even though my car was barely worth more than a set of tir...

Yeah, I hear you about the trackers - mixed feelings there myself. I actually had one for a year, and while it felt weird at first, I did end up with a small discount. Not huge, but every bit helps. I agree that keeping ...
