Recently there was a teacher\u2019s strike here and that means parents would have to find ways to take of their children. I know a few people today who had to do things such as taking time off work to accommodate this. I was thinking too as a result of this on how much financial burden these things create when we simply aren\u2019t prepared for even one day where things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n
Is the answer in this case to always have a backup for everything that you do? While that may be the best way, that isn\u2019t very practical. For example, I don\u2019t think people have an extra car in the garage if one breaks down or making sure that they have a babysitter ready 365 days a year incase one of the days are like these.<\/p>\n
The easiest solution for myself, as dumb as it sounds, is to simply have a good amount savings. For example, not too long ago I had a situation come up where it required me to address it. While I didn\u2019t immediately know what the best way to approach it was, being diligent and making sure I always have an \u201cemergency fund\u201d made life so much easier as it opened up a lot of options I could take. Many times we simply can\u2019t predict what exactly is going to happen, but we can all put ourselves in a good position to find a solution when needed. <\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t have to always be money either as this could be you helping and giving to others when you are in a fortunate situation. This could easily mean you will have a network of people with various skills and resources to help you in return for when you really need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
