June 1 is the start of hurricane season here in South Florida. June is always when I review my own hurricane preparedness plan and assess it for any weaknesses.

I've also kept a close eye on the Fort McMurray wildfires and the economic crisis currently underway in Venezuela.

Given these stark and vivid disasters, I've wanted to draw your attention to them as a way for you to consider how you're prepared to handle them.

Today I focus on the importance of money--specifically having some available to you in times of crisis.

Enjoy,

Joshua
