Insurance Deductibles

Today I increased my auto insurance deductible to $1,000 from $500 and saved $120 per year, which is $10 a month. I need to make sure I put it in a savings account. I feel comfortable doing this because I have an A-OK savings account.

I also increased my home coverage from $115,000 to $125,000 and my deductible from $1,000 to $2,000. Which increased my premium from $1,119 to $1,198 which is an increase of $79. (I need to crank up my savings account!)

Totals savings
Auto: +120
Home: -79
Difference: +41

I need to look into having my home and auto under the same company but geico has always been the cheaper company for me.
