Liability insurance

I am a 19 year old student and have zero knowledge of insurance. It has come to my attention that it is totally risky and stupid to live without liability, as something can happen at any time that causes massive financial damage. Of course, I'm not asking for professional advice on Reddit. But does anyone know of a recommended liability insurance policy with which I won't go wrong and will finally be covered?

This week: May CPI inflation will break above 4% and ECB will hike on Thurday

For those wondering if markets have more room to fall.. On Wednesday US CPI data for the month of May will be released and having looked at the latest estimates from major firms, it's almost certain headline CPI will break above 4% again for the first time since April 2023. Estimates are 4.1 to 4.2% which will bring Fed hikes back into focus. Core CPI is also expected to edge up to a seven-month high of 2.9%, which is more concerning since this strips out oil from the headline data. For the mont

Did I miss something?

Hello everyone, I'm asking about your swarm intelligence. The pension value per earnings point has increased from 6.34 DM to 42.52 euros from 1960 to today. This corresponds to an annual return of approximately 4.2 percent. In addition, the average length of pension receipt has doubled from 10 to 20 years between 1960 and today. How much does this increase the return again? Unfortunately, the AI wasn't very helpful. I guess, all in all, the return on a salary point is from 1960 to today

But how much of that is actual, productive company growth, and how much is just central banks firing up the money printers worldwide?
