Imagine having no underwear, no shoes, no clothes, no bed to sleep on, no chair to sit on, no toothbrush, no towels, no saucepans no cutlery, no plates etc etc.... Sure you would recover... eventually... but imagine you are possibly having to pay rent because you have no house PLUS possibly continue to pay your mortgage - you may not have much left over cash to use to recover with. As a renter I have about $60k worth of contents insurance just to cover my belongings in case of fire or theft 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

I'm well aware of what it is like to live in the bush and deal with bushfires as i grew up in the bush, but most of us live in the cities where we will never see a bushfire so the risks of your house burning down are very slim and yes i could certainly replace furniture, sheets, towels, toothbrushes without going into debt. my biggest asset is my house not the contents. imo, the biggest risk to contents is theft, the insurance companies know this which is why they stack the odds in their favour of you not making a claim.
