We welcome financial expert Stefanie O’Connell, who details how factors like changes in the types of jobs people have, debt, housing, a lack of insurance, and retirement savings have left many millennials (and many other individuals from other age groups) unprepared for life's unexpected financial hardship.

To create a safety net in case a financial hurdle arises, Stefanie suggests the following:

Build an emergency savings fund: This can help you avoid having to rely on credit cards (which can have high-interest rates) to pay for necessities and bills.

Make sure you have sufficient insurance coverage: This includes health insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance -- especially if you have dependents.
