What is left after the fat cows are gone

In times of a good economy, nobody cares about anything. We all think the good times will last forever and we tend to forget that the economy moves in cycles, some are good and some are bad.

Like in the Bible story, when we are living in a time of fat cows, we would love for it to last forever. We actually think it will last forever.

We overspend, because there is easy credit.

We don’t care to make any real career progress, because we can always find another job with a better salary.

We don’t save, because the good times are finally here to stay.

When the lean cows period sets, we don’t have savings, we become expendable in our jobs, we are downsized, laid off, we don’t really have anything good to offer to an employer because we didn’t get ready.

We can’t go back in time. What’s done is done. What we didn’t do, we can’t do right now…

Really?

Well, I believe we can. No, we can’t make up in 2 days what we haven’t done in 10 years but we can take the steps to weather the storm, survive and most likely, make a profit.

It is not that difficult but it requieres a decision on your part. Are you ready to actually roll up your sleeves and work towards a safer short term future? A future where you are a lot less worried about what way is the stock market going?

Get a plan and put it in action. Don't be paralyzed. Act.
