Old bastard here. The biggest 'out of left field' change I have witnessed is I have to negotiate a better price every year for household bills like electricity and car insurance. 30 years ago I would just pay them without question.

Car insurance came in. They dropped the renewal by 15% just because I said I wanted to look elsewhere.

If is a freaken game. The whole 'I need to see the manager' bull for authorisation to lower the quote.

Years ago I would have felt bad. Now it is routine to ask for a better price.
