These are my most recent monthly State Farm vehicle insurance payments, from most recent ($114.35) to sometime back in 2021 ($69.32). I have no control over how much or little they decide to take out of my bank account every month. I noticed it steadily going up over the months until suddenly my December payment DECREASED by $16.75. I really don’t feel like contacting my insurance company with this trifling question but I am curious what affects their fluctuating prices.

Okay I know Trump is a sebaceous cyst on Earth’s asshole but this is an entirely different matter. I’m wondering why my insurance went DOWN after starting ridiculously low then steadily climbing.
