Should you have a back up plan?

Freelance musicians are often told that they need a back up plan.

On the other hand, full time workers are not told that they need a back up plan, since they are considered to have a real job.

Yet, who suffered the most during the economic crisis? And who would not be paid in case of a government shutdown?

Not the freelancers, but the people with the "steady" jobs.

Turns out, musicians don't need more of a back up plan than anybody else.
