Protecting Your Rainy Day Fund
More than half of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Life is expensive.
From buying school supplies for your children to paying rent or a mortgage, it is difficult to establish your rainy-day fund.
As a Federal Agent, you are susceptible to a myriad of liabilities each day. Whether you are filing paperwork or detaining an individual, small mishaps or even falsified allegations can result in large pay-outs. Are you prepared to pull the plug on your rainy-day fund if an allegation is made against you, even if it has been wrongfully made?
