> Insurance is primarily for major events. The things at the extreme upper end of the bell curve

That's how it should be, but isn't because all insurance contracts cap the maximum insured amount. So that's absolutely NOT the "extreme upper end of the bell", not at all.



There are unlimited umbrella policies, but practically past 1 million or <net worth> it is probably cheaper to declare bankruptcy than pay the additional premiums.


Wouldn't you rather not lose $1+ million? It costs something like $400/year per $1M coverage which is hardly breaking the bank.


$400/year is a new laptop or something, if you spend the money then the creditors can't take it.
