I seriously dont understand how anyone who is self employed, and as such running a business does not have a money held back for emergencies? We're only 2 weeks into this yet it seems like folk are already on their knees. Whats their plan if they break a leg? Or anything that puts them outta work for 6-12 weeks? 

I have private health insurance and loss of earnings insurance to cover my back in case of an accident. Costs a bit but it's a no brainer to have a back up plan if you're doing silly things up trees for a living. I've not checked yet, however I highly doubt the loss of earnings policy covers a global pandemic. 

So even those who've been paying for policies may well find they're not worth a great deal right now...

I get that. :) All my family and friends who are  self employed have 3 months held back for emergencies. Any expansion of their businesses can only go ahead when they have the funds to do so, without dipping into that cash.  If they do have to dip in its the first thing that gets topped back up with. To them its basic business acumen. But what would I know, eh?

You are most fortunate to have such a wise family and to have such wise friends.

I reckon many SE people have periods when there’s plenty in the bank, then other periods when there’s a little less fat on the bone.

 

This can be due to an unexpected expense, daughter getting married, bad payers, paying down a loan or any number of reasons.


It’s a bit like musical chairs, but instead of the music stopping, the world did.
