Insurance varies a lot with what you drive, where, amount of coverage, and history of driving.

Mine is around $800/year and I drive nothing to brag about. (Well, except cost of ownership and safety record. Knock on wood). But my partner pays more because they have more coverage and a newer car worth covering.

But if you think $350/month is high, let me introduce you to private health insurance. πŸ˜‚

I suppose that does depend on what kind of coverages you have, bare minimum liability vs. full coverage, etc. $350/month just for auto still sounds insanely high, though!

Oh yeah, not disagreeing with that!
