Plan B

When people on this board talk about Plan B they usually refer to exit opportunities. Being in your twenties, in good health and at maximum capacity often makes you forget that disaster in life strikes more often than is anticipated (such as stock market crashes). Car accidents that cost you both legs, cancer that wipes out your ability to eat solid food or severe mental illness is always lurking around the corner. Do you have a Plan B for such a situation?

I am quite comfortably covered for such a case (employer perk) and my Plan B is to get a pack of dogs that all have certain disabilities (think missing legs or eyes but nothing to gross). Just hoping that I would still be able to take care of them to a certain extent. As their fearless leader I would raid the local neighborhood enjoying the fact that I am still alive. 

What is your Plan B?
