That's true, the conundrum being striking a balance between what you judge you can afford (bearing in mind also that "affordability" reflects how you regard competing priorities, so it's not an absolute) and what the threat actually requires, which may not be the same thing. If I judge that i can only afford three quarters of a roof on my house, I am going to get wet (if it ever rains again).
