Description
“Dude, why is being alive so expensive?”—an actual sentence I said aloud to Henah back in January when my dog needed surgery, my husband and I got a giant tax bill, Henah’s travel insurance wouldn’t come through, and a formerly in-network doctor informed her she owed them a large sum since they were now (surprise!) out-of-network.

So which tactics (both financial and psychological) can help you plan for the mundane or unexpected? Will this ever stop, or do your financial problems just scale proportionally with your net worth?
