Just so. If you can swallow a loss, don't bother with insurance. OTOH, I'm no longer prepared to risk losing house and contents, so they are insured!
As with all these calculations, it comes down to an individual's assessment of the maximum plausible loss - plus how easy it is to mitigate the loss or probably of loss.

oh I'm insured. But I often see instances when driving where I miss having an accident that would not be my fault and would get blamed for anyway. I have had two car accidents aready both not my fault but both deemed to be my fault. Insurance is not a guarantee.

Just so. The worst outcome is that after the event you find you weren't covered because they deem that you had invalidated a precondition.
When buying insurance I don't bother to look at what's covered, I go straight to the Ts & Cs to understand the exclusion clauses :) Or is that :(

Time to get one of those $20 dash cams.
I have a second home that is totally off grid that is used five months a year. I've built most of the electronics and no rebates on the panels. Still the payoff is pretty quick not having to pay monthly service fees alone. Only about 1500W and it provides all my hot water and just two car batteries for storage. One is out of my car which I don't bring and the other is the boat battery when not in the boat. Scheduling and prioritizing replace massive storage. And a change in lifestyle. Incidentely the utility company at my other home says I use twice the electricity of my average neighbor.
