Previously I wrote about my love for pay-as-you-go services. We recently switched our mobile phone service to Ting and couldn’t be happier: our average monthly bill has dropped from around $130 to just over $65 – a savings of 50%! If you want to check out Ting, here’s a link: https://z4ghls6r7kl.ting.com/ You’ll get a discount and I’ll get a discount. Win-win, baby!

But I really wanted to post an update after a full month of Metromile auto insurance. We just got our first monthly bill. Grand total: $71.88. Our previous insurance with MegaCorp Insurance was $118/month – so I’m pretty happy. Metromile charges by the mile and we don’t really drive very much. I think we had in the neighborhood of 750-800 miles this month, and that included a trip across the state to visit the in-laws. If you are not a heavy driver, I would recommend checking out Metromile. I haven’t yet needed to file a claim, so I can’t comment on that process. I’ll be sure to update again if/when I do that.
