As you build your Personal Safety Net, or help someone else build a Personal Safety Net, you might consider sudden events that could happen to you. The “What If’s” of everyday life. What if I’m planning a wedding? What if I broke my leg? What if I’m to be deployed with the military? Who can sign documents for me? What if I am approaching childbirth alone? What if I needed someone to watch my children suddenly? Do all my emergency contacts know how to reach each other? What if I can’t shop for myself? Do I have someone who can help with home repairs? What if I need help with transportation? What if I need to change jobs or move? Am I prepared for the next stage of my life? What if someone I know needs help building a Personal Safety Net? How do I get started?
