3 Ways to Avoid Financial Disaster
"How strange it (the earthquake) must all have seemed to them, here where they lived so safely always! They thought such a dreadful thing could happen to others, but not to them. That is the way!" -- William Dean Howells, A Sleep and a Forgetting
That's how it tends to be with disasters -- natural disasters and financial disasters alike. We know they happen, but we kind of assume they will only happen to other people, elsewhere. If we're sensible, though, we'll realize that we, too, are vulnerable to all kinds of disaster, and that we'd do well to prepare. We might buy insurance, for example, and keep a first-aid kit in our car.
