I beg to differ. Any responsible adult can control their own fiscal security. You create your own state of affairs.
You can't control layoffs. If you lose your job and have to find one that pays much less that would take a major hit on finances. A friend of mine was a CPA and working at a company that had some really high-end clients.
She was making great money and had everything she wanted. Then the birth control didn't work and she had a child born with major and permanent disabilities and deformities. She quit her job to devote all her time to him. Her husband works and it's enough to get by but there's no money for savings.
I think she did the right thing, family is more important than money.
I suppose there are those who are blessed enough to never experience any financial hardships, I personally have had my ups & downs.When I was Crystal's age I was broke.
What do you do if you lose your job and can't find another ?
