Additionally, having adequate insurance coverage, including health insurance, disability insurance, and income protection insurance, can safeguard against income loss due to illness or disability. A comprehensive financial plan, including contingency strategies, can help you navigate challenging situations and maintain financial stability. Working with a financial planner can provide valuable insights and guidance specific to your circumstances.
