Q

2 Bruce has just graduated and decides that instead of paying for insurance, he’ll work on building up his emergency fund. This way, if something goes wrong, he can just pay for it using cash from his emergency fund. Why is this a bad idea?
a. It is mandatory to have auto, health, life, disability, and renters/home insurance, so he’ll have to pay 5 penalties per year for not enrolling in these insurance types.
b. An accident or illness can strike at any time and be quite expensive, so it’s possible he’d need a big sum of money well before his emergency fund was large enough.
c. Having insurance not only protects you financially, but also physically, so he’ll be less likely to experience illness or accident if he has insurance.
d. The sooner he starts paying for insurance, the sooner he will reach his maximum lifetime requirement and can stop paying altogether for coverage.

A

An accident or illness can strike at any time and be quite expensive, so it’s possible he’d need a big sum of money well before his emergency fund was large enough.
