In other news has anyone used Uber before??. My boyfriend and I are headed out to San fransisco for a wedding and plan on using it to try and do some sight seeing. It seems really expensive though.

I live on the Peninsula. Uber is used by TONS of people here every day. Lyft is another option. Same idea and maybe a tad cheaper.

ETA: It's a small city a public transportation can totally get you anywhere you want to go. I would Uber/lyft at night though.

my car insurance has gone up from $58 to $95 in a year. I am so overly annoyed right now. It went up $10 with 2 speeding tickets and then I got one for going 3 over and now my insurance is $95... and everywhere else i've looked at I've gotten quotes from $130-$200. Sometimes I seriously hate being completely financially independent. I'm in college, its literally so hard. I needed somewhere to rant. Lol

I honestly don't get how people in college do it. If my parents didn't pay for my car insurance/gas I wouldnt be able to afford to have a car. My freshman year I was lucky if I made 80 bucks every two weeks at my job. At the time my car insurance was probably around 100-120 a month? I wouldn't have been able to afford to drive anywhere after paying for insurance. My sophomore year it didn't really get any better with a work study job since the supervisor gave a couple people all the hours and others got none. I think one month I made like 90 dollars for my work study job. Props to anyone who can be financially independent during college cause I know I wouldn't be able to.

As a parent and someone who spends a lot of time driving just don't speed, especially on small towns.
Be glad you are not a male driver. Their rates can be out of this world.

My husband and I drove down to Grand Forks ND to see Luke Bryan and paid 105 CND for 2 tickets. Thankfully its only a 2 hour drive. I don't get how tickets are so much cheaper for the same show 200 KM away

Slightly off topic but Grand Forks is one of my favorite places in America. I went for a weekend last October and immediately fell in love with the place/people/everything.

All of this just frustrates me more. I am none of the things mentioned and my rates are nearly double what @SmileyRyleigh mentioned. I have no tickets, one fender bender nearly four years ago, female driver, almost 25. I've even changed companies several times. I. DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND.

The amount of camo/trucks/guns astonishes me there. Same with Fargo an hour south. I'm always amazed how different a place 150 miles south is. I like going though...they have ALL the restaurants we don't have

 

[XtremeWpg]

It could be because of the car you drive. That still seems ridiculous though. (And people wonder why I don't drive...)
Be glad you have the option to change insurance companies. In BC, there's one Crown corporation people have to buy basic insurance from.

Same in Manitoba. Thankfully mine is about 1400 a year so I pay 117 a month or something like that. I was so confused when I moved to NWT and got to choose a company

haha I loved it! I live in the DC area and so many people there just seem so fake...which was the polar opposite of GFK. Also the fact that the airport there has two whole gates.

Well it's DC and it's filled with politicians so the "fakeness" doesn't surprise me one bit.

Hence why I try to peace out of the area once a month. I didn't get out in May and it was MISERABLE. Currently on a bus to my hometown for a belated birthday celebration though
