There’s an old saying, “What’s the difference between farming and gambling?”
Answer: “In gambling you can quit.”
It’s better to be born a farmer than decide to become one.
One of the best definitions of gambling, sponsored by the government, is this:
“The lottery is a moron tax.”
And now for the two foundational principles of insurance:
01—Insurance is based on fear. What if . . . ?
02—Insurance is worse than gambling. You win only if you have tragedy or loss.
One of the best typographical mistakes I ever made was only off by one letter, and it made the sentence more accurate. Now I share it on purpose.
I meant to type, “I’ll insure this.”
What I did type, “I’ll unsure this.”
