Dwelling is usually 100-125% of estimated value. “cost to rebuild”

Warranty and insurance are not remotely the same thing. You should get multiple quotes on home owners insurance and go with a good price/deductible you can afford

$500/year for a homeowners insurance policy sounds very low. How much is the house? What liability limit did you select? What contents coverage amount? I pay a lot more than that for a 1400sf house with a $500k dwelling coverage. My primary house has about a $1.1M dwelling coverage and I pay over $3000/year.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash

Currently 31 with 6.5 YOE and single . Should have NW of 250k by end of this year. (No significant assets in India). Considering this money all reminds invested I should have a decent nest egg for retirement. Have an LIC policy that will be worth arnd 50 lakhs when I surrender it (plan down payment for an apartment). Struggling to convince parents this should be enough for me to move back. They think I should move back when I have more financial security. What more should I plan for ?
