Bruce has just graduated from college 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. Why is this a risky idea?

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

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

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

The sooner he starts paying for insurance, the sooner he will reach his maximum lifetime requirement and can stop paying altogether for coverage
