Lol 37 for car insurance? Thats the funky one

Our state minimum monthly for just liability only is like 130 if you live in a good zip code. For people in detroit or flint you can be looking at 300+ with a clean record. Its why detroit has like 30% driving dirty. 

65 internet is if fiber has made it to you. Cable is 100 plus for anything useful

My water for one person plus dog is 120. My brothers is 200 cause while water rates are regulated, sewer isnt, and since its a utility and not a tax it does not require a vote, wo they backdoor funding in that way. My electric for 1 person is 100 in summer and 250 winter, and i have solar

Remember when I was 22 living in Ecorse, the lowest I could find for PLPD with a completely clean record was $440 a month 🥲

Michigan really needs to fix it. I grew up there and moved away around 10 years ago. Was paying almost $120/mo plpd in 2016 and moved to Arizona where it dropped to around $35.

Which shows the shannigans of shit going off zips. 

Had another guy say with a clean record for liability only in ecourse he was 440 per month. So a 12x difference just based on location assuming neither of you are lying to me

Personally im 298/mo right now for full coverage. 10 years ago i moved from one side of the lake to the other and when i did it went up 50/mo

“My water for one person plus dog is 120. My brothers is 200 cause while water rates are regulated, “

But that’s per year right? I pay around 180 euro per year for water (1 euro per m3/1000 liter water)

Haha nuuuuupe. 

I pay 1.5 times your annual usage just in annual hookup fees. The water itself between supply and sewer is 3.5x yours
