I asked, “Have you had any tickets in the last three years or accidents in the last five years?”

I was stunned. After many years as an agent, I was used to people denying responsibility for their actions, like backing into a light pole because “it was hard to see in the rain” or rear-ending the car ahead of them because “they stopped unexpectedly”, but this was a first.

When you get married, there are a host of issues to deal with. The date. The dress. Where to live. Who’s insurance company to go with.

What? Insurance wasn’t near the top of your list?

Typically, men pay more for auto insurance

Listen up, men. Single men between 18 and 25 normally pay the highest car insurance premiums, and things don’t get a whole lot better for you until you turn 30. Unless you get married. Now, I’m not recommending you run out and get hitched to save a few dollars on your auto insurance, but once you are married don’t wait to take advantage of your new lower-cost status.
