Los riesgos son inevitables en este mundo, y esa es la razón por la que tenemos seguros: para mitigarlos. Por el precio de una prima, transfieres parte del riesgo a la compañía de seguros y a cambio recibes un pago si se presenta un problema. El objetivo es reducir tu vulnerabilidad ante una pérdida repentina y potencialmente catastrófica, y proteger así tu patrimonio financiero y el de tus seres queridos. En teoría suena bien, pero algunas formas de seguro no son necesarias o quizás no valgan la pena.
