Why Your Deductible Strategy Could Cost You Thousands

Lucas and Luna explore how choosing a higher or lower insurance deductible can have outsized financial consequences. Using the example of a $1,200 auto claim and a $250,000 homeowners claim, they show how the math works differently depending on your savings, your risk tolerance, and the type of coverage. They also walk through a real calculation: why a $1,000 deductible vs. a $2,500 deductible on a six-month auto policy might save you $75 in premium but cost you $1,500 if you file one claim. They explain the concept of 'deductible relativity'—how insurers set deductible tiers—and offer a rule of thumb for choosing the right deductible based on your emergency fund.
