Butch has bought insurance over the years which has more than paid for itself. He has now signed up for the American Express Platinum card has a number of benefits (car insurance, travel insurance, medical insurance, etc) which eliminates the need for insurance on a trip. That credit card ends up paying for itself. Plus it gives access to the Centurion Club. Airline Clubs allow you to rest, check emails, shower, offer food, etc (great for areas where email access doesn’t exist).
