People pay premiums for years without using them. Do you think insurance is truly worth it?

In Croatia women pay premium insurance for several years. When she got sick, they refused new contract saying she is to sick and spend to much money. So no insurance for me expect health.

Something similar happened to me. My telephone company has a mobile insurance. I was admitted, paid the bills and sent them an invoice with all hospital bills on headed paper. But they rejected saying when I fell sick my premium was still new. This truly made me feel like I will never insure again. And I never renewed.

That's why it's important to read the policy before buying any insurance, especially for insurance that concerns your health.

Some life insurance require two years of payments before they pay you. Meaning if you buy life insurance and pass away (not due to self harm) after 1 year and 11 months, they can refuse to pay you. Always review the policy carefully before committing to insurance.

Most of case waste of money because they require you to pay bills and then refund.

To me this is real cheating.

Seems true. You pay them and they will hesitate when it's time to claim.

Hmm...that's a debate and dilemma that everyone has before buying an insurance. There are so many of them and you don't need to buy all. But yes, few important ones like health insurance and life insurance should be bought aas a caution. Unless you earn very well and save a lot after all financial obligations to pay at once for health emergency and something you will leave behind for your loved ones, you should buy these necessary ones as caution and a financial cushion in tough times.

If it was paid once for a lifetime, like for the health that would be ok. But you have to renew it so it is active. Failure means no option than cancellation. Upon that you don't get a refund.

Insurance serves as a crucial safety net for unforeseen events, providing peace of mind.

[Netherrealmer]

Life insurance. Let's say you die out of nowhere because, you know, we don't know when will we die. Anytime soon, we can die. If we have our life insurance covered, those who we will left behind will be insured to have money so they can survive without you. Or let's say house insurance. If something went wrong with your house, a house insurance is a safety net if something bad happened to your house. Although there is one thing that I will never understand. Did you know that Jennifer Lopez have insured her butt because she thinks that it's her greatest asset?

[germainebull]

During recent local protests, a car owner was lamenting that she has not purchased an insurance cover that would compensate her. This after rowdy goons set her auto on fire.

In my own opinion,insurance is a safety net, not a waste, if you use it right. You pay a little now to avoid losing everything later when something goes wrong, like a car accident or hospital bill. For things you can’t afford to replace, it makes sense. For small risks, it’s often better to self insure and save the money.
