    Americans are gearing up to travel this summer, with consumer research from Deloitte revealing that an estimated 53% of Americans are planning leisure vacations during the upcoming season. This is a substantial increase from 2024, with the number of people planning to take leisure trips up a shocking 48% year-over-year. If these numbers hold, this summer will see some of the highest numbers of travelers since the Covid pandemic began over five years ago.

    Many years ago, I was in an accident and my car was badly damaged. So badly, in fact, that the insurance company declared the vehicle to be a total loss. That means they decided it was not worth repairing and, instead of paying to make fixes, they paid the actual cash value of the vehicle instead.

    When I first bought insurance for my car at around age 20, I got some quotes and kept noticing weird descriptors added when the quotes showed my liability coverage options. For example, one insurer offered me 25/50 coverage, another one offered me 50/100, and yet another gave me a quote for 100/300 coverage. It took some research to figure out that 100/300 refers to bodily injury liability coverage limits, and I don't think I'm alone in not understanding these numbers.
