I have house insurance, home contents insurance and car insurance. But I haven't bothered with life insurance. So far, I've had to use the home contents and the car insurance, the latter for a break-in when I'd left the car for literally five minutes and it was parked out front of a frind's place in a quiet sububan street. You just never know when you are going to need insurance.
