In the last of our four-part series, Johnny McNamara looks at the danger of counter party risk and shows you how to minimise the external threat to your own personal economy.

In previous articles I have developed the concept of managing and controlling your own personal economy. The key to achieving this is to identify the areas of your finances that are in your control and to recognise the areas that are outside of your control. Where you identify an area that you have no control over, this becomes a risk to your personal economy and so, it is vital to minimise these risks every way you can.
