Car insurance

According to data from Forbes, the national average cost for car insurance in 2024 was $2,150 per year, or $179 per month.

Bank accounts

Most banks charge somewhere between $5 and $35 a month in account fees alone – especially if you bank with a big brick-and-mortar institution.

Online banks, on the other hand, typically charge lower or $0 fees and higher interest rates due to lower overhead costs.

For example, you can open a high-yield cash account with Wealthfront and earn 4% APY on deposits — which is almost 10x the national average. Plus, Wealthfront charges no account, monthly or overdraft fees.

Fund your account with as little as $1, and enjoy 24/7 instant withdrawals. There are no transfer fees either if you want to move your money into a Wealthfront investment account.

Life insurance

Global life insurance premiums are set to increase at an annual rate of 3% in 2025 and 2026, according to a report by Swiss Re Institute.
