That's the economy right now. The prices on everything are going up and we're getting the same or less for our money. The car insurance is one example. Another example would be the price of food is raising and the portions continue to become smaller.
...There is a reason we're broke. That's all there is to it.

Oh well, what can we do about it? You can either swallow it or just drive a different car. :shrugs:

My friend had to buy a new car so he bought a Cobalt Sedan because his dad works for Chevrolet for extra income. It's the base model and his current insurance company wanted more for the Chevrolet than they did for the 2004 Acura TL he was driving. Sadly, his parents lease ended so he had to get rid of it. I realize him being 19 and all is a factor, but for a guy with no tickets, it's ridiculous. And here is the kicker; they too wanted $600 a month. He switched companies so it's okay now.
At the moment, I pay about $166 a month for my 2008 Civic EX Coupe in insurance.
LMFAO! That's double his car payments!
