There are several things worse than unemployment.

1. Losing half of your nest egg because the stock market went down and you KNEW you should have had your money in a safer place.

2. Having long term care costs sucking $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 per month out of your nest egg when you KNEW you should have done something to protect yourself against this. You can even protect yourself against long term care costs without paying one penny for long term care insurance.

3. Being unprepared for a health problem and the ensuing family fight because you did not have the proper plan or legal documents to support it.
