Top tips before disaster
Moneycare supports lots of people with their finances post-disaster, but we want to also arm you with advice before disaster strikes.
- Don’t go it alone. Support is available, and seeking help is a sign of strength.
- Being financially prepared also means being socially and mentally prepared.
- Step by step gets the job done, and you are capable.
- Insurance is a safety net when something happens unexpectedly. Consider getting it to help protect what is most important to you.
- You do have rights. There are laws to protect you when you sign for a loan or an insurance product.
- Have an emergency fund.
- Having a money plan is great. Having a system that allocates money where you want it to go is even better!
- Go with a go bag. Store your important documents in a safe place you can access when needed.
- Don’t sign anything you don’t understand. And read the fine print!
- People’s stories are important. And so is yours!
