(In fact, it's never too early to think of wills, estate planning, medical power-of-attorney documents, etc.) If the next pandemic is anything like the 1918-1919 influenza outbreak, in which some 40 million people (mostly young and healthy) lost their lives, then financial preparedness might involve more than just a savings cushion for two or three weeks of illness.
