Great analogy. Spirit and Frontier demonstrate that outcomes are often determined not by the strategy you can see, but by the risks you can't. In both investing and personal finance, resilience comes less from optimizing returns and more from avoiding single points of failure.
This highlights a lesson that's easy to miss: two plans can look identical on the surface while carrying completely different risk profiles underneath. Diversification isn't just about investments, it's about income sources, emergency savings, skills, and flexibility.
