something wrong with your metatags:

<title>Instant Cheap Insurance Quotes</title>
<meta name="Cheap Insurance Quotes" content="A free resource to the cheapest insurance rates">
<meta name="cheap insurance, cheap insurance quote, insurance quote, free insurance quote, cheap health insurance, health rate increase, insurance increase, insurance rate increase, health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, home insurance, affordable insurance, free insurance" content="free insurance quote, insurance quote, health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, home insurance, cheap insurance quote">

SHOULD BE:
<title>Instant Cheap Insurance Quotes</title>
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="A free resource to the cheapest insurance QUOTES">
<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="cheap insurance, cheap insurance quote, insurance quote, free insurance quote, cheap health insurance, health rate increase, insurance increase, insurance rate increase, health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, home insurance, affordable insurance, free insurance" content="free insurance quote, insurance quote, health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, home insurance, cheap insurance quote">

Yes they do, just the importance isn't as high as it used to be.

for an auto insurance site, it sure doesn't look very much like it's related to anything automotive or anything insurance

Adding some stock photos related to your website would be a good addition.

I just learned I'm paying to much for health insurance! Great resource - wish I'd found it sooner :)

A few thoughts on your site.

I like the blues, very easy on the eyes.
Lots of white space that is is a good thing. Helps in reading the pages.
The logo needs some work I think. It just does not seem quite right. Sorry no great suggestions on how to improve the logo, just a feeling that it needs something more.
You might want to run the pages through the W3C HTML Validator to check for errors in the code etc. (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.dontoverspend.com/)

Overall nice site, and good/interesting information.

Thanks for your review... I agree on the logo, but I just can't figure out what to do??

Put some mouse over effects for the navigation menu. Do you have an affiliate service going? And put adsense ads as well.

I have adsense running on some other sites and I'm afraid it would detract from my affiliate links within the site... I think the mouse effects would be a nice touch... Thanks for the suggestion!

looks good, maybe you could change the font/size?
