    Car insurance Health insurance Dental insurance

    All insurance really

    Also renewing license plates/licenses

    Basically if you need to make a yearly or monthly payment to keep using something it’s a scam in my eyes.

      “Pay money into this big pool, and if you have an emergency then we miiiight pay you some back. We keep any extra btw”

      It makes a lot more sense to me to just keep an emergency fund and a few close friends.

      Not sure about where you live, but where I live, that money goes towards road upkeep. That money has to come from somewhere.

        Quite the contrary

        I have all of these things. I just wish i didn’t need them in the first place. Not sure how my comment made you think that.

            I need them because if I don’t have car insurance for example i get a fine. I need health insurance otherwise i have to pay out the ass. 2 stupid things made by some money hungry old fuckers that just want to collect even more money. This is just 2 examples of all kinds of insurance. The whole system is in place to make the rich richer for something meaningless.
