Auto Insurance Outlook 2025: Buckle Up For More Rate Increases
- Auto insurance rates are expected to continue to rise in 2025 due to spiking repair costs and claims frequency, as well as more drivers without insurance.
- Industry experts are split on whether or not auto insurance premiums will come down.
- Experts suggest consumers look to control costs of premiums through being a good driver or choosing policies with higher deductibles or claims-free or accident-free discounts.
- More than a dozen studies suggest that auto insurance rates have declined since 2024 due to fewer people driving during the pandemic.
- Several ways to save on car insurance are bundling policies for multi-line discounts, shopping around once per year, asking about available discounts and maintaining good credit.
- AI-powered risk analysis models are increasingly being used for better underwriting and claims management.
- New regulations and stricter penalties may be required to discourage driving without insurance to reverse the trend towards a higher rate of uninsured motorists.
- Innovative auto insurers tend to attract new customers, grow faster, and spend less on claims than their less innovative competitors.
- While there are potential savings for consumers, it is still ultimately up to auto insurers to find ways to lower costs and give consumers some relief.
- Consumers can also benefit from maintaining a good driving record and high credit scores, as auto insurers often take these factors into consideration when pricing policies.

A Former Credit Counselor’s Thoughts About CreditU’s Money Management App
- CreditU is a new money management app built from the credit counselor's perspective by American Consumer Credit Counseling. It helps users track and make progress towards their goals and offers suggestions on how to achieve them.
- CreditU has a free version and Premium, which comes with a 30-day free trial. Its AI chat can answer financial questions and generate resources and advice based on your input.

Who was really surprised by that Gen Z leave email?
- Gen Z isn't here to play by legacy rules, and they aren't asking for permission.
- This generation has grown up with autonomy at the forefront.
- For Gen Z, a leave email's purpose is to notify, not negotiate.
- The old norms of workplace decorum simply don't hold the same weight for this generation.
- Gen Z expects to be seen as professionals in their own right, not novices needing guidance on soft skills.
- Gen Z doesn't need unsolicited career advice; they've entered the workplace with goals and strategies in mind.
- They're looking for leaders. Your job isn't to be their friend; it's to guide and inspire.
- One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to demand detailed reports on how they're working.
- The bottom line is this: Gen Z is redefining workplace norms, and the sooner older generations embrace this shift, the sooner we'll see a more dynamic, collaborative workplace.
- That one-liner wasn't a sign of disrespect; it was a new kind of communication.
