FROM THE EDITOR<br />
I remember as a kid watching a movie about a big<br />
passenger liner ship that flips over upside down and<br />
then slowly begins sinking. Around the same time we<br />
watched a film about a massive residential building<br />
that catches fire and the people who try to escape.<br />
These were classic disaster movies.<br />
We seem drawn to disaster. It is as if we don’t want to be caught in a<br />
disaster ourselves but can’t look away when we see one.<br />
My Instagram feed loves to show me clips of people (both sober and<br />
not) falling off things or into things (however they fall, they always<br />
seem to be hurting themselves) so, it seems the algorithm knows that<br />
my fascination with disaster seems to be going strong.<br />
Sometimes, if you have a lot of debt and are struggling to make ends<br />
meet, it can feel like you are starring in a sick disaster movie of your<br />
own. One where the main character wakes up in a cold sweat at night<br />
worried about paying off their debt.<br />
If you ever feel that way well, the good news is that in this issue,<br />
we look at some steps you can take to try to future-proof your life<br />
against disasters of various kinds.
