We all have imagined what we would do if faced with the unimaginable: losing everything in a house fire. What would we grab? How would we cope? Who would we turn to for support? For Patrick L. Riley, he lived that reality, having woken up to his entire home engulfed in flame, fleeing without even having shoes on. But that was just the beginning of his hardship. Riley was faced with 'rock and a hard place' kinds of decisions, having lost work during the pandemic and needing to pick which bills got paid and which didn't. His home insurance didn't make the cut, so rebuilding was almost insurmountable. "Now I'm fully insured. I'm insured on the insurance," he said with laughter, to Living Not So Fabulously hosts, David & John Auten-Schneider. After being able to rely on the built-in insurance of his co-op, he focuses on staying positive; an experience we can all learn from.  For full episodes of Living Not So Fabulously, watch on our website or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
