Basic Flexibility

One noticeable difference as a Soutie is how get togethers are organised in my UK bubble relative to my SA bubble. Down South… Nice weather? Braai? Everyone magically arrives with meat and drinks. Up North… enter the logistic nightmare of matching up calendars. Add a month to when the event can occur for every additional person invited. Planning too far ahead means full calendars swallow you whole. Inflexibility is contagious. Financial Flexibility is similar. The more fixed, recurring expenses you have, the less you can adapt and adjust to the weather. If you spend too far ahead. More isn’t the core goal of Financial Security. The Foundation should be very aware of the expenses over which you don’t have control. Which are short-term, regular, and insistent. Again, the lack of flexibility to cover the basics when storms hit is contagious. If we don’t all have the basics covered, it becomes difficult to see people.
