The house I bought has no attic insulation, and it uses drywall for the attic floor (the ceiling of the floor below). If I don't install insulation, will I run into problems with moisture collecting on the attic floor? I know my utility bill would be higher, but I wondered if there were other consequences of not installing insulation and how likely the issues are to occur.

I bought a house, and it needs attic insulation installed. The attic is currently bare with no previous insulation. Is installing insulation a fairly straightforward job an unexperienced person can do themselves? A contractor estimated over 4k to install insulation, and I feel I could probably do it myself. I wanted to know if there are any risks or oversights an unexperienced person would miss. It seems as easy as unrolling the insulation vapor-barrier down.
