Hey BabyDic, you forgot to mention your paid off truck and it’s current mileage.

Correct. Cash price versus insurance price tells the story.

worst part of house insurance/ mortgage scam is when you have a claim, the insurance company will write the check to both the mortgage company and the home owner. Mortgage company will not allow owner to competitively bid repairs or allow modifications. The repair company knows what the insurance company rates are for a sheet of dry wall.

People love insurance, it's a warm fuzzy feeling even if their policy is shite. Just look at how popular vacation insurance is.

What happens if everybody stopped paying income taxes to the government


Theoretically this is the way to do it. Problem is very few would actually do it.

I guess if people can self ensure
I don’t have dental or eye insurance because it’s cheaper to pay out of pocket
Were you referring to medical, auto or home?

If nobody had insurance, roofing companies would not be charging 15k for a new roof.
Ain't many recent house roof replacements coming in under $15,001.

Maybe a tiny house?

Then your bank would buy it for you and pass the cost on to you.

$15K for a new roof??? What 3rd world country are you living in? Try doubling that. These Roofing Contractors with teams of 20 year old sales people driving around in $80K F-250s can’t pay their overhead much less make a dime profit on $15K roofs. LOL!
