Is it really worth getting insurance, or am I just overthinking it?

I’ve been thinking a lot about getting insurance lately as i want to be more financially secure and prepared for unexpected situations. i have been experiencing confusion about which type of insurance actually makes sense and whether it’s worth the cost in the long run. i went through information from trusted sources but i’m still not fully confident about making the right choice.

however, i am having trouble understanding what kind of coverage i actually need and i would love to get your advice and hoping maybe some experienced people or professionals can also share their insights.
i usually just want something that can protect me in emergencies without being too expensive or complicated. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If you own a home or drive insurance is a must unless you’re incredibly wealthy.

If you rent most landlords require renters insurance.

Health insurance is a must as an illness or injury could wipe you out.

So in answer to your question, yes it’s worth getting insurance.

Are you talking about life insurance? The only reason to buy life insurance is to protect others in case you die. Are you married? Have children? If not, you don’t need life insurance. If you do only buy term life insurance. It’s cheap insurance assuming you are younger and healthy. Permanent or whole life policies are a bad investment. There are much better ways to invest that money.
