“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan”I had lunch with my accountant on Monday. I really like him and I've known him for a long time. He was telling me, from his vantage point, about the misery many of his clients are experiencing now. He would never violate a confidence by revealing any names (I didn't ask, either) but what was clear is the trickle down effect and how inter-dependent we are.
Eleanor Roosevelt (American United Nations Diplomat, Humanitarian and First Lady (1933-45), wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US president. 1884-1962)
This reminded me of the word, "robust."
In Hacker slang:
"Robust": Said of a system that has demonstrated an ability to recover gracefully from the whole range of exceptional inputs and situations in a given environment. One step below bulletproof. Carries the additional connotation of elegance in addition to just careful attention to detail. [Compare smart, oppose brittle.]It is (painfully) clear that we all, individually, need a robust financial plan for our households. I don't think we should depend on the government to do it for us.
Ayn Rand's, The Virtue of Selfishness, touched, moved and inspired me. Have you read it?
