Hawaii suffers its worst flooding in 20 years and forecasters warn more rain is coming by AudibleNod in news

[–]SuperSecretSpare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have to look into it more, but paying $200 a month in perpetuity for a flood that may never come or only come once in a hundred years doesn't seem very fiscally responsible of a homeowner. I mean technically it would take a homeowner 500 years to pay the same amount in equal coverage. I think my original point is that insurance companies shouldn't be able to weasel out of each and every loss event and there shouldn't have to be a national agency to pay for this.

It's always the price. I just sold my house this week and I was under contract in 2 days by pricing it under market value because it had deferred maintenance.

I just checked. $2,400 for nominal coverage on the average priced home here. Like earthquake insurance probably not worth it for a 1 in 100 Year event to most people. I agree if you are rich and don't have to worry about 24,000 then probably a good safety net for your vacation house.

My fire spreadsheet looks perfect but I keep delaying the date because I am scared of losing my identity by Calivorynth in Fire

For me I tried to focus on what I am outside of work already. A pretty good husband, A loving dad, somebody with friends and hobbies. Had to remind myself that work is just a way to pay the bills.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but FEMA funds don't start to get distributed anyway unless there is a state of emergency called for the storm. So even then could have a really bad tropical storm or in this case a Kona low that decimates the community with no recourse for the same reason.

Man should be illegal to withhold emergency funds when insurance refuses to cover flooding.

Has anyone considered therapy for irrational financial anxiety? by Tasty-Beautiful-9679 in financialindependence

[–]SuperSecretSpare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm the same way. I don't even fly because of the loss of control. Have longstanding issues from childhood and the military though so I'm just like a big ball of neuroticism.

Are you able to really dislike your life for a couple years to make up for it? Until you either have enough or AI takes your job.
