If we had to define insurance in one sentence, it could be: "Prevention is better than cure." Today's society is governed by a very strong economic system in which it would be very difficult for us to live without money, we could only live away from society, in a place where we could grow our own food, supply ourselves with water and, even then, it would be difficult to obtain some resources such as electricity or substitutes such as candles (which also have to be bought).

The money investments that we human beings currently make are very high and, at the same time, we run many daily risks in which we can be left without any of those investments. Insurance is an investment that people make so that, in the event of an accident, the insurance covers the expenses incurred (or at least a large part).

Today we can hire insurance for almost everything we want. Obviously we are not going to insure a good or service that costs little money, but as the figure increases, the chances of wanting insurance also increase since the loss would be greater. We are going to see some of the most used insurances and some insurances that are not so well known, but that also exist.

As for the most used insurance, we have those that protect automobiles. Cars and other means of transport on wheels have a very high cost at first, but repairs are not cheap either. Also, most of them are on the street, often parked in tight spots where other drivers can brush up against you when parking or opening doors. Exactly, most of the time it does not depend on the driver whether or not he can suffer an accident, that is why people hire him as soon as they buy the car. Another very basic is home insurance that covers many of the inconveniences of the passage of time that produces breakages in the structure or inside the house. Finally, the third most contracted insurance is life insurance, which ensures a cushion of money for the contracting party's family in the event of death.

On the lesser-known insurance side, we have wedding cancellation insurance. If you have ever organized a wedding (be it yours or not), you will have been able to verify the large number of people who are involved in them. We no longer talk only about the bride and groom and the guests, but about companies that make sure that everything goes well. Many unforeseen events usually arise in a wedding, but if one of them is of vital importance, such as the illness of one of the spouses, contracted companies that go bankrupt, floods or natural disasters and many others, you need insurance to help you not lose all the money from the event. We also have insurance for specific parts of the body that are usually used by people who use these parts to carry out their jobs, such as very prestigious surgeons, famous soccer goalkeepers, wine tasters...

If we can make anything clear with all this, it is that insurance is very important in today's capitalist life and we need it to avoid going bankrupt in the face of any unforeseen event. Here is a list of the insurance companies that are obtaining the best results on the stock market and in which you can buy shares.
