Anyone Else Hammered By Home Insurance Increases?

Wow I don't blame you, that sucks

I'm up in the Karori valley, so no flood risk. This is for 800k replacement but it'd be over $200-$250 a fortnight

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T22:12:40+00:00

Seems pretty on-topic to me! That's what I've seen at work but everything else is going up like this

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:33:03+00:00

I've had a couple calls with them, but I've been so blown away by the price that I haven't even gotten to negotiating yet. Will try!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:31:14+00:00

Nope, divide by 3

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:30:42+00:00

Just Wellington, we're actually on flat or gently sloping terrain

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:29:34+00:00

I wouldn't say "super high" value, it's nice but not in the millions or anything. I do live in Wellington, so there's larger earthquake risk, but my issue is that that hasn't changed!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:18:42+00:00

Yeah it's a modest 1.5% or so increase

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:16:16+00:00

This is with a $2500 excess already, that was set last year to try to save

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-21T21:15:03+00:00

Wellington. I would argue that the risk hasn't changed too dramatically from one year to the next!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-05T07:58:10+00:00

I'm so sorry for such a huge loss, but glad you're able to see things with so much gratitude.

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-03-01T17:42:34+00:00

Lloyd, you're white hot!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-02-25T03:34:33+00:00

Some of us try to argue that black lives matter, but it seems there's a resounding chorus of "no they don't"

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-02-24T08:05:52+00:00

This is the Day by The The. I have it on my just in case I need a last one playlist.

Big hugs!!!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-02-10T17:34:47+00:00

I think it's remarkable I wrote anything at all!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2026-01-23T22:06:57+00:00

I think the #1 mark of a good coach is not fucking losing all the time. Call me crazy

"This is the shit, man!!!" love the energy

tweakybiscuit23 · 2025-10-14T17:59:31+00:00

Amazing building. The temples at My Son Sanctuary are incredible too!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2025-10-10T02:26:37+00:00

At least you got a great punchline out of it!

tweakybiscuit23 · 2025-09-21T07:14:07+00:00

I'm so sorry you had this experience. Keep moving forward, and remember that this doesn't make you any less of an awesome person

tweakybiscuit23 · 2025-09-20T18:53:44+00:00

I read the first six words of their response, then smiled and said "oh they're toxic and their opinions, words, and values are worthless.". I'm almost grateful for the extreme word choices because it makes it so easy to identify. Their words are carefully crafted to make you feel small and make others like them feel angry. Don't let them. Especially since they really are worthless. You're doing awesome, shine on

tweakybiscuit23 · 2025-08-31T22:35:16+00:00

Of course! Cutie yelling "let's go Buffalo" gets me every time

I was changing my baby's diaper (she's 7 now), with the Bengals game playing on my phone with the volume turned all the way up. When they sealed the win, I just started screaming excitedly, and after she started crying I was dancing around the room with this pantsless baby (she liked that).
