Thanks so much for having me again.
It's a pleasure to talk all things insurance.
When we think about insurance, we can probably think about what's driving costs generally.
And the answer to that is inflation.
And inflation affects insurance sort of in the same way you might imagine it affects all goods and services.
With insurance, you're talking about replacing something valuable, your car, your home.
And so when the cost of, let's say, automobile parts goes up or the cost of building materials goes up, your home insurance premium goes up.
So inflation is definitely playing a role there.
The other thing that's happening, though, and specifically in auto and home insurance, is that we're looking at the increasing frequency of severe weather taking a toll there.
Across the country, there is an increased risk in some areas of weather events, and that means more claims for your insurer.
And so that means higher rates for you.
So I think auto insurance rates, 16% is the increase over the last year in some places.
And then J.D.
Power in a home insurance study recently surveyed homeowners and about 47% of them
said their home insurance rates had increased.
So everybody's feeling the pain, and I definitely get that.
I think when we look at will it continue, we have to ask ourselves, are the things that are affecting insurance rates going to continue?
And
That's sort of a mixed bag.
So inflation, inflation is definitely still present, but it is rising more slowly, according to government data.
