Most people don't look at their house, imagine it in flames, and think, "Eh, I'll just write a check." But Charlie Munger wasn't most people.
In one of his final public appearances—just months before his death at age 99—the longtime vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway made a comment that raised eyebrows, especially considering the business he helped run. "Once I got rich, I stopped carrying fire insurance on houses," Munger said during the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/15/charlie-munger-discusses-investing-at-the-daily-journal-annual-meeting.html">2023 Daily Journal shareholder meeting</a>. "I just self-insure."

</ul>
It was a surprisingly personal stance from the longtime vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, a conglomerate that <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/subs/sublinks.html">owns some of the biggest insurance businesses</a> in the country—Geico, General Re, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, and more.&nbsp;
Still, Munger was unapologetic. "I'd rather tell it the way it is than tell it in a way that helps Berkshire," he said. "Even though it's bad for Berkshire, I want to tell you: if you can afford to self-insure, self-insure."
He clarified that he wasn't just talking about fire insurance. "In my own life, I'm a big self-insurer, and so is Warren," he said. "Why would you want to fool around with a claims process and all kinds of things?" His point was simple: if you're wealthy enough to absorb the loss, bypass the middlemen, avoid the red tape, and deal with problems directly.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
That's not to say Munger was advocating recklessness. He emphasized that the decision to self-insure only makes sense if you can comfortably handle the expense. "You should insure against things you can't afford to pay for yourself," he said. "But if you can afford to take the bumps… why would you want to fool around with some insurance company?"
And it's <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/homeowners-insurance/home-insurance-required/">not an option for most people</a>. If you have a mortgage, insurance isn't just recommended—it's required by lenders. Even homeowners who own their property outright might still be subject to homeowners association regulations or local ordinances that mandate certain types of coverage. In many cases, self-insurance isn't just risky—it's off the table entirely.
Munger knew he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43700703/to-pay-28000-a-year-in-insurance-for-a-2000-square-foot-condo-is-ridiculous-suze-orman-shares-how-she-self-insures">had the resources to take on the risk</a>. "If your house burned down, I would just write a check and rebuild it," he said. And while that line might sound cavalier, it's really just an extension of how he viewed efficiency. He saw traditional insurance as a system bogged down by fraud, fees, and friction—and if you didn't need it, why get tangled in it?
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
So, should you self-insure? That's a personal decision, and it's a risk. Munger's approach worked for him because he could afford for something to go wrong—and because he was willing to accept the consequences if it did. But unless you're ready to pay for the full cost of disaster, both financially and emotionally, insurance might still be worth the hassle.
It's a philosophy grounded in pure Munger logic: eliminate what's wasteful, do what's rational, and ignore the noise. Just make sure, before you follow in his footsteps, that you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">can actually afford the walk</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning HealthEquity Stock In The Last 10 Years

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban took another shot at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in his latest post. Over the weekend, Cuban took to <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lovvp2fzcc2j">Bluesky</a> to mock Lutnick, writing, "I wonder which Time Share company Howard Lutnick is going to get a job in sales at."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lutnick&#8217;s Controversial Tenure</h2>
Cuban&#8217;s jab comes on the heels of a series of critical comments he&#8217;s made about Lutnick's tenure as commerce secretary. In March, for instance, Cuban questioned Lutnick&#8217;s effectiveness, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lkxkj5mhnc2o">asking</a>, "Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary?" The remark was a response to Lutnick&#8217;s recent controversial interviews and public comments.

</ul>
One of the key points of contention is Lutnick&#8217;s approach to tariffs and trade. In a March <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3ljpthdit7k24">CNBC</a> interview, Lutnick defended the Trump administration's tariff strategy, emphasizing its potential to boost U.S. manufacturing. Cuban shot back on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:y5xyloyy7s4a2bwfeimj7r3b/post/3ljqszshvvc2k">Bluesky</a>, saying, "Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works." He added, "America has a global trade surplus on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise are focused."
Cuban's critiques highlight a fundamental disagreement over the direction of U.S. trade policy. Lutnick has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs, arguing that they are necessary to address the $1.2 trillion U.S. trade deficit. He defended this approach in a Sunday <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lx5YKNttzU">CNN</a> interview, describing the deficit as unsustainable and claiming that tariffs will help create balanced trade. "The president wants balanced and fair trade, and tariffs are the tool to create balanced and fair trade," Lutnick said.
Trending: The team behind $6B+ in licensing deals is now building the next billion-dollar IP empire — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-ym?v=123">invest early at $2.25/share.</a>
Cuban has consistently resisted this, arguing that the U.S. should concentrate more on its robust services industry, which he claims is more lucrative and a better long-term investment for economic expansion. He also criticized Lutnick&#8217;s recent comments about Social Security, where Lutnick suggested that people who complain about missed checks might be fraudsters, sparking significant backlash.
"My mother-in-law, who&#8217;s 94, she wouldn&#8217;t call and complain. She just wouldn&#8217;t," Lutnick said on the "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182ckTL2KBA">All-In Podcast</a>" in March. "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining."
The latest trade developments also add context to Cuban&#8217;s criticism. This week, the U.S. and China agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45342343/us-stock-futures-rise-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-pause-wider-earnings-growth-should-drive-more-balanced-market-performance-says-expert">90-day tariff reduction pause</a>, with the U.S. lowering tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and China cutting duties on U.S. products from 125% to 10%. The deal, which allows for ongoing economic discussions, underscores the ongoing challenges in balancing U.S. trade interests.
Cuban&#8217;s pointed comments suggest he remains skeptical of Lutnick's approach, framing it as disconnected from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">economic realities</a> faced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44347512/wait-tariffs-are-just-a-tax-on-us-employee-shocked-as-small-business-owner-cuts-his-hours-because-of-the-tariffs">most Americans</a>. His critiques echo broader concerns about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45254241/recession-could-originate-at-the-port-of-los-angeles-warns-economist-calling-tariff-decision-a-misapplied-consumption-tax-on-households">potential economic fallout</a> from ongoing trade disputes and the effectiveness of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45338243/stephen-miller-says-history-will-record-trumps-tariffs-as-the-start-of-saving-the-west-from-chinas-economic-domination">tariffs as a long-term strategy</a>.

Wall Street extended its rally on Tuesday as easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China and softer inflation data boosted investor confidence. In fact, the S&amp;P 500 reclaimed positive territory for 2025 and closed 0.7%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45379707/sp-500-to-6500-goldman-sachs-trims-recession-odds-as-trump-backs-off-on-tariffs"> higher on the day.</a>&nbsp;
What To Know: The market is flashing another bullish signal that could indicate even more gains ahead, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist for the Carson Group.&nbsp;
Detrick observed that on Tuesday, more than 60% of the components in the S&amp;P 500 are hitting new 20-day highs and pointed to a historically bullish year following this rare occurrence.

Detrick posted a chart from Carson Investment Research, which shows the last time more than 60% of S&amp;P 500 components reached a new 20-day high was on Dec. 1, 2023. Twelve months later, the S&amp;P 500 was 31.7% higher. 
The same chart indicates that this signal has flashed 18 times since 1982, and each time the S&amp;P 500 was higher 12 months later with an average gain of 18.6%.&nbsp;
What Drove The Action: First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) soared almost 23% and was the biggest gainer in the S&amp;P 500 on Tuesday, on favorable U.S.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45381191/first-solar-eyes-best-2-day-rally-since-2013-after-gop-tax-plan-spares-key-clean-energy-credits"> policy developments</a> for domestic solar manufacturers.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says American workers are frustrated and they have a good reason to be.&nbsp;
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1919106487508414676">post on X</a>, Sanders pointed out that despite decades of rising worker productivity, inflation-adjusted wages are lower today than they were 52 years ago. At the same time, he noted a massive transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, calling the situation unacceptable. "The status quo is NOT working. We need real change," he wrote.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Gap Between Productivity and Pay</h2>
The Economic Policy Institute backs up Sanders&#8217; claims. According to a recent EPI <a href="https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/">report</a>, U.S. productivity has surged by 86.5% from 1979 to 2024, while hourly pay for typical workers only grew by 31.7% over the same period. That means productivity has grown nearly three times faster than wages, creating a wide gap between the value workers produce and what they take home.
The EPI argues this gap is not an accident but a result of policy decisions that reduced worker bargaining power, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42918620/unions-should-brace-for-competition-what-trumps-labor-revolution-means-for-workers">weakened unions</a>, and shifted more wealth to capital owners. The report points out that this shift has resulted in slower economic growth overall, with typical workers missing out on the benefits of rising productivity.
"The growing wedge between productivity and typical workers' pay is income going everywhere but the paychecks of the bottom 80% of workers," the EPI said. "If it didn't end up in paychecks of typical workers, where did all the income growth implied by the rising productivity line go? Two places, basically. It went into the salaries of highly paid corporate and professional employees. And it went into higher profits (returns to shareholders and other wealth owners)."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Longer Hours, Shorter Lives</h2>
Sanders has also recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44302734/bernie-sanders-says-stress-kills-as-he-highlights-a-7-year-life-expectancy-gap-between-the-working-class-and-the-wealthy">raised concerns about the health impact</a> of economic stress. In a recent <a href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/3.7.2025-Life-Expectancy-Working-Class-Report_final.pdf">report</a> from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, he highlighted a growing life expectancy gap between the wealthy and the working class. The report found that Americans in the wealthiest 1% of counties live an average of 84.3 years, while those in the bottom 50% of counties live only 77.4 years.
One stark example from the report shows that Loudoun County, Virginia, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., has a life expectancy of 84 years, while McDowell County, West Virginia, one of the poorest, has a life expectancy of just 69 years—a 15-year difference despite being only about 350 miles apart.
"Stress kills," Sanders said, adding that these disparities are unacceptable in a wealthy country like the U.S. "The massive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43351521/2025-is-the-year-the-wealth-disparity-gets-much-worse-viral-finance-influencer-explains-the-trump-economic-effect">income and wealth inequality</a> that exists in America today is not just an economic issue, it is literally a matter of life and death."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Closing the Gap</h2>
To address these issues, Sanders has proposed a series of policy changes aimed at boosting workers&#8217; pay and improving their quality of life. These include <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45028145/joe-rogan-agrees-with-bernie-sanders-saying-hes-right-that-you-should-be-scared-of-oligarchs-they-shouldnt-be-running-the-government">raising the minimum wage to at least $17 an hour</a>, implementing Medicare for All, expanding Social Security, providing paid family leave, and making education more affordable.
Sanders argues that these steps are essential if the U.S. is to close the growing gap between the rich and the working class and ensure that all Americans can share in the nation&#8217;s prosperity.
