###### [30 Days Challenge](https://www.financialplanningindubai.com/blog/topic/30-days-challenge)

The phrase "cover all bases" originates from the World War II period. 

It refers to protecting strategically located centers from which all the army's activities are planned and coordinated.  A base is also where the supplies, weapons, and ammunition are stored.

Losing control of the base to an enemy typically resulted in the loss of a battle or even the War, so the bases were always well-guarded and protected.

You are also waging a literal war, trying to make a living and building your future, except not with guns. Well, mostly.

Your key bases are your income-earning ability and the assets you have built over time. Much like an army, covering these bases is crucial to your sustenance and growth.

Thankfully it doesn't cost you a fortune and an army of soldiers to cover your bases.
