Absolutely wild- when I last had car insurance in AK, my payment was $68 a month. 7 years later, the exact same policy on the same car with only 1 speeding ticket in 2018 is now $102 a month 😳

That's a 6% increase per year. Over inflation, but perhaps not such a radical increase. (mind, with 7 years and only 1 speeding ticket, you'd expect discounts)

It won't make you feel better but my insurance on my brand new tacoma in 2013 in Wyoming was like $50/mo and in New Orleans on the same, now 12 year old tacoma (no tickets, and I'm not a 25 year old anymore) is $150/mo 🫠
