So if your home gets struck by lightning and burns down you won’t care about rebuilding it? You’ll just take the loss? Asking because we paid cash for our 2 y/o home, but hubs insists it be fully insured even if rates eventually become absurd (currently we’re under $1K annually for a 4/3 home with State Farm). I told him I’m never willing to pay exorbitant insurance premiums if it ever comes to that when we’re not required to be insured because of no mortgage. It’s a bone of contention between us, lol.
