5 Ways to Avoid Financial Disaster

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven that financial disaster can strike anywhere and at any time. People with secure jobs just two months ago are now out of work indefinitely, and the full economic impact of this pandemic has yet to be felt. Hopefully, your government stimulus check and unemployment can hold you over until you're able to return to work. But if your company goes under, or you're unable to return to work for some other reason, your financial crisis might be just beginning.

You might not have any control over the pandemic, the government, or your employer, but there are some steps you can take right now -- yes, even if you're out of work -- to keep yourself financially stable until life returns to normal again.
