We need to be prepared for natural and personal disasters – both physically and financially.

Financial Preparation
Your Money, keep in at least 3 pots. 1. Cash, 2. Easy to liquidate and 3. Long
term. Depending on the disaster, you need at least 1 month of cash expenses available.
Having Savings is a difficult concept for this generation of spend now, save later. Have a conservative mindset until all three pots are filled. You decide what is considered full.
