Never understood why people spend so much on insurance. Why not spend more money to improve your well-being through exercises and healthier eating instead? Why not work on reducing the chances of needing to claim insurance, rather than betting huge amount against your well-being.

Some have investment component in it, some insured for large amount of money while some bear the insurance cost of the loved ones.
It is hard to say what he bought from that brief statement.

Because no amount of exercise, healthy eating or wellbeing activity can prevent indiscriminate illnesses caused by environmental factors, genetic factors or just plain ol cancer.
Don’t know about you, but People generally have dependents and the insurance is a way to provide for them when misfortune strikes.
Health insurance to protect your savings. Life insurance to protect your loved ones.
Thinking its a bet against yourself is the kind of 0 sum game mentality that is either foolish or stinks of privilege.
