Description:

When you’re young and healthy, insurance doesn’t seem like it should be a high priority. The chances of something
bad happening seem remote, and you’d rather not think about that anyway. But misfortune does happen—to
expensive things. So everybody needs to think about insurance.
How can you use this in your life?

risk of financial loss.
