Risk Management

Life involves risk. Even if we might not like it, it won't go away. Two categories of risk exist:

Pure Risk: If an event happens, we can only lose; for instance, the chance that a flood would harm your home at some point in the future. Either the house has water damage, or it doesn't. In most cases, this kind of risk can be insured.

Speculative risk: We may suffer loss, gain, or remain unchanged. One form of speculative risk is gambling. Money can be won, or lost, or you can break even. Traditional insurance does NOT apply to this kind of risk (although there are sometimes ways to hedge these risks, like diversifying your investment portfolio).

Risk management and wealth generation go hand in hand. There will always be some level of risk in every element of life. Reduced risk-taking is the next best action. Protecting one's goals, dreams, treasure, and personal well-being from those "what ifs" that might turn into "what now" is the main objective of personal risk management.

There are three steps in the risk management process:

  • The risk's origin and nature should be determined. As an illustration, consider a premature death that leaves the family struggling to make ends meet while paying off debts and living expenses.
  • The level of danger that a person is willing to accept should be decided. How much of a deductible should be expected in the event of a homeowner's policy? Or, given how improbable they are to happen where you live—the mountains—should disasters like an earthquake or a flood be covered?
  • Decide how to manage NOT retained risk. Balancing the cost of insurance premiums against the risks that have the greatest potential to negatively affect a person's personal financial plan is a key component of risk management.
  • Determine how to handle risk NOT retained. A crucial Risk Management factor is to balance the expenditure of insurance premium dollars against the risks that present the highest negative impact to the individual’s personal financial plan. We could insure ourselves from almost any risk but go broke paying the premiums.
