Probably cause everyone of you make way too much money for selling a policy and it just auto renews every year.


Who do you insure with and how much do you think they make?

It auto-renews for your protection.
Would you rather it cancel and force you to underwrite a new policy every 6 months?

No one wants to hear this, but it is time for an increase in the minimums.


Wouldn’t that result in even higher payouts?

Yes. The float.

Buffet has written volumes about float.

I get that cars these days have more expensive things to fix in an accident, so premiums will go up.

But those cars with expensive things are, I’m sure, sold in all 57 states.

So why is LA premiums so much higher?

You have identified one small part of the problem. Congrats.

I don't think insurance companies are investing in index funds.

They are usually much more conservative than that. Why? Because there is a chance that they need the funds for catastrophic losses.

My FIL worked in the business and he pulled in around 70k a year, but the owner made north of 500k a year.

Again. Who are you insured with and how much do you think they make off of you?

You can share your annual premium.

Insurance commissions are some of the lowest percentage commissions in the country.
