This emergency might be one related to a natural disaster, or it might be a financial emergency, such as a job loss. Know where these items are, and make sure other family members know as well. My son knows that there are two meeting points out (depending on whether he leaves out the front or out the back) in our neighborhood.

Well, we made it and here are some of the surprising things I found out about having a few millions. Knowing I had the financial backing to live through negative life events (divorce, job loss, catastrophe, etc) removed a level of stress from my life. You still want to do your best at work.

We also went through multiple job losses, surgeries, huge car repairs, etc. We paid for braces, college tuition for my son, and did fun stuff like traveling while we were paying off debt. They ranged from a low of about $2,300/yr (no zeros missing there!) to a high of maybe $80,000/year. We hit everywhere in between.
