Ordinary Matters

Extremes get too much attention. It is the ordinary that drives what compounds. Extremes can destroy you though, so they do need a little more focus. Just not everything. A small Buffer may be one month’s salary. Enough so that instead of going under, and being saved by a check for a desperate gasp each pay day, your head is above the water. A slightly bigger Buffer may be 3-6 months’ salary. An Emergency Fund. Enough to give you a few month’s breathing space to find new employment if you lose your job. An even bigger Buffer starts getting exciting. What would you do with 5 years’ breathing space? Retrain? Start a business? Change your ordinary? Don’t let the extremes bully you. It is what you do every day that matters. Create space for your every day.

Don't be Bullied
