Abstract

Economic security, especially for individuals, has historically been provided through four main categories: assets, labor (income), family, and charity. Anything that compromises a source of economic security, such as unemployment, illness, disability, death, or old age results in ambiguity regarding one's financial future. Although these sources have varied moderately through the years, the basic principles remain constant.
