As hard as it may sound you can plan for the recession. If you are working, find extra work and get an Invest--advisor. Protect your deposits by having enough cash in short term fixed income. Then cut your expenses. Minimal insurance, cut utilities.

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

Even if you have a humongous income you still need to draw up futuristic plans because anything can happen. One could lose one's job or whatever. Investment cannot be overemphasized. About your advisor, how does one reach pls

I am an orthopedic surgeon in new york. I love the show and I watch it daily. I think you missed one of the most important variables that should be included to the discussion. after a car accident, many victims of the accident seek treatment with an orthopedic surgeon and retain an attorney even with minor injuries. Many victims undergo unnecessary surgeries, to justify the lawsuit. Many of these victims spend and exhaust $50,000 of the no fault benefits. I am confident this drives up the cost of auto insurance.

[@jameslee899]

100% correct. I agree with all the factors here, but for the good drivers like myself, it’s not hard to understand why we feel like we’re getting scammed. But the truth is, everyone is lawyering up in the smallest fender bender accidents. In bad economic times, people tend to sue more. (Not hard to figure out) insurance carriers are seeing small property damage claims, and large bodily injury claims attached the same accident. Now does that make sense !? What’s happening is that these people are hiring lawyers and yes going through unnecessary surgeries to inflate their claim values. Yes ! This is a common thing now as crazy as it seems. It’s not uncommon to see a 4K bumper damage which is considered low impact, and 400K bodily injury claim attached to it. Personal auto insurance is basically becoming unprofitable.

[@neostefanides]

That’s the American way now unfortunately. Take advantage of the system for one’s own benefit. Politicians won’t stop this because politicians are attorneys for the most part, and attorneys won’t repress other attorneys.

You working for the enemy is the actual problem. All of these other issues wouldn't exist if no one would work for their own abusers.

[@PS_____]

I work in Finance in the industry. Let me save you some time. 1. Frequency of claims and Severity (cost) of claims has been up since the pandemic, though frequency is falling. 2. Many state insurance regulators (remember that insurance is regulated by states, not federally) slowed or paused rate increase approvals, which means that the entire industry was fighting with losses. 3. Many insurers began restricting new business and renewals (because the insurers were losing money on every new policy), limiting access. 4. Only within the past year or so, regulators started approving rate. Since there was a large backlog of requests from insurers, we saw large jumps. Basically, insurers went from subsidizing your policies, to being slightly profitable. At least with what I see, theft is not a particularly big issue. The cost of repairs however, is. Also, in terms of leaving states, this is 100% on the state insurance regulators (looking at you, CA and NY). Insurances companies are in business to make money. They are not charities, which is how some regulators were treating them.

[@onegreensock]

Very true! I've worked in the insurance industry for 35 years and can agree. The entire industry is massively regulated and competitive. They're all losing money year after year to storms, inflated repair costs, and ridiculous liability claims.

[@rocheclip]

Agreed! I am a P&C claim adjuster, and the loss ratios are out of control across the board. They can't pay claims if they are paying more than they make on losses and loss adjustment expenses. People do not realize that solvency is a requirement!

[@darrel1254]

As the owner of an insurance agency in CA, I can tell you it is a real mess. Despite the justification of increased premium, many people are having real trouble. Example: #1- 19yo male Sacramento county, clean record working at a grocery store requesting full cvg on a 2007 Ford Ranger= $650 per month. #2- 41yo female in Alameda County, 1AF accident, 2019 Dodge Journey= $420 per month. This is also having an unforeseen impact on the auto lending industry as well. As lenders are becoming aware of the massively increased rates, some are implementing auto insurance estimates to be considered in their lending decisions. Obviously, the impact will hit the most financially vulnerable sector of society. As if it isn't hard enough in CA with $6 per gallon gas and more. What are some people supposed to do?

[@JohnDChaney]

Yeah, the whole teen boy vs. teen girl driver has always been a scam. Male drivers are always better drivers.

In Mississippi, here's what people deal with and why most of us choose not to insure: 1. No public transportation. If you want a job, you most likely have to travel Therefore you need a car. The used car business is a known money maker in the state. 2. Expensive registration. Once you get a car, new or used, it's at least $400 to register with the state. $400 for a STICKER. 3. Increasing gas prices. MS is the poorest state in the country. Minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. You HAVE TO buy gas to get to work. Let's spend the $ on gas instead of insurance that would most likely not get used anyway. Overall, let's not forget that the insurance company is most likely going to simply total out the car and pay you less than the total you've paid them as a loyal customer.

From what insurance agents have shared on here the top reason is dishonest injury claims with lawyers that try to squeeze as much as possible out of a claim. My wife had accidentally rear ended a car under 5mph waiting at a red light which resulted in them lawyering up later on and sueing for medical expenses. Luckily our Allstate lawyers took care of it and they ended up settling for less when they realized they were going to be losing more in legal fees if the continued with their sham.

[@wrenchaholic_]

The insurance companies call the shots. If you don’t do what they tell you to they won’t do business with you. They love using used or aftermarket parts while telling you the consumer their using oem parts or refusing to replace critical components that the manufacturer and software say to replace because of liability issues. Their all a scam. Have you ever seen someone with flat black fender and hood, 90% chance they didn’t want to pay the deductible.

In CA we have the California Insurance Guarantee Program in which insurance companies join to be a part of their admitted status. Know as admitted insurance carriers. Most other States have this as well. But, when insurance companies join they have to succumb to all of the regulations and pricing dictated by the Department of Insurance. Insurance companies file for rate increases and the D.O.I. drags their feet on approving or telling the carrier no. That's a big part of why their leaving. Non admitted carriers don't have this issue.

I bet had this issue been bubbled up a little higher, someone would have been like "yeah this is dumb and not its intended purpose of the program." To be fair to rework how their policy was written would have been a lot of work and likely a huge headache for something that this guy technically agreed to. Still, because we didn't, this guy came away with the impression that his insurance company would use technicalities and legalese to raise his rates. Which is true.
