I agree except for buying insurance for repairs. Those are scams, you'd probably be better off putting that money into a general emergency savings fund.
My real estate agent advised me to buy homeowner's warranty coverage when we bought our house. I did not, because I knew those were scams back then too. I have savings instead, and it has worked out for the best.
