Creating a Safety Net for Unexpected Events
I recently read a powerful article in The Straits Times that really struck a chord. It highlighted that Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Singapore, and one in four who suffers a stroke is under 60 years old.
The story not only focused on the individual's struggle but also the emotional and financial toll it took on their family, such as how one of her sons decided to repeat his first year in junior college, and what her other children and husband went through during her recovery.
This made me think about the importance of financial preparedness for such unexpected events. The Singapore government's Basic Financial Planning Guide recommends:
This kind of coverage can provide a crucial financial cushion for a family in times of crisis, allowing them to adapt and focus on recovery without the added stress of financial hardship.
