Found the r/personalfinance crowd!

I'm also interested in this. Maybe they have 401ks and aren't counting that in their $7000 "savings".

Between social security and either an unmentioned 401k or pension, I could imagine that a couple who had made a living off getting by on the cheap could make things work. Investing in long term care insurance would be a good move on top of that.

A vertical evacuation structure. Huh, I’d never heard of this before.

It seems like a lot of the feedback here is along the lines of “no one is my neighborhood will have time to evacuate”, given crowded towns and small roads. The advice is to be ready to move when you feel a shake, but the point still stands that everyone in, say, Westport, Ocean Shores, and Ocean Park is going to die.

Vertical evacuation structures seem like a very elegant solution to that (and not far off the tree-house suggestion someone mentioned). Seems like these should be a bigger part of the discussion.

I get amber alerts without having done special on my phone; will I get ShakeAlert automatically or do I need to download that app?

Wow, that’s a very interesting insight. I really hadn’t thought about that before.

I think I’d rather fight an actual space marine than games workshops’ lawyers.
