Default Adding insulation to attic

This has been a great topic with lots of input, which we appreciate since we're in the process of building a home and moving up from North Tampa to The Villages. After owning several homes, my wife and I discussed the need to insulate both garage attic, walls, and garage door, and our lanai on this new house since we're not so sure that the blown in insulation actually seals up all the areas in the ceiling, like gaps around pipes, canned lights, and other areas that can cause 'air loss'. We watched a few YouTube videos to learn do's, don'ts, tips and strategies before making the decision add extra insulation. We may spend a few $$ on this, but it gives us the opportunity to really inspect our attic/lanai areas and we're hopeful our efforts will give us piece of mind and some energy savings (if at all). Thanks again for everyone's input/perspective. It's been enlightening!
