Which is, of course, why doing nothing is always stupid. Personal Example: When my wife and I bought our first house, being fiscal conservatives, we wanted flood insurance. Our agent told us we didn't live on a flood plain and - eventually - refused! to sell it to us. So we switched agents to one that would sell us flood insurance. We really had to work at it which I don't understand, and our neighbors thought we were nuts. Anyway, sometime around 2000 my town flooded in record rains. It was called the "flood of a century". Because the flood was local there was no access to disaster funds. Many of our neighbors lost their homes and still owed the mortgage. We didn't. Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared Dumbass.
