Get the $25K coverage, Sophia. The whole point of it is that, if you have a fire or someone decides to steal absolutely everything you own, you will need to replace all of it. Might as well get it new!

Get it, ita! You have a LOT of tech, weapons and clothes. I have abut three personal friends who were wiped out when neighbor's apartments caught fire and caused a lot of smoke damage and incidental water damage, and one who's stuff was ruined when the upstairs neighbor's pipes burst and deluged her apartment.
One had insurance, and recouped losses fairly easily and quickly; the others didn't, and they lost almost everything, to the tune of tens of thousands -- normal people, not rich, but we accumulate more than we think.

I mean, it might take $25,000 to replace all at once, but that isn't really how insurance works, right?
That's pretty much exactly how renters insurance works.

Is the little guy a French Bulldog? I am recently obsessed with them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can price my electronics fairly simply. It's my clothing and jewelry that give me most pause. And then the furniture would also be a headache. Plus all the incidentals.

French Bulldog?
Yep.

Move to San Francisco, we're infested with them. (I love them.)

Thrive to spite them
I have $25,000 coverage even though I know my stuff isn't worth it and it probably wouldn't cost me that much to replace everything. But I'd rather be over insured than under.

Good to know! I was picturing listing my possessions, and they are like:
- Coffee Table- from side of the road
- sideboard- from side of the road
- 2 dressers- from side of the road
- sofa (mid century)- $50 at Salvation Army
- Chair- $19 at salvation army
- cat condo- $9
etc, etc. I mean, I like the stuff because I like old stuff, and it has taken me years to find it all at a price I want (some of the things I bought at flea markets as a kid) but it is not worth much monetarily, especially since I have painted a lot of it.
