I have ALWAYS told my children what the REAL score was, as I saw it….it netted me some pretty hard feelings in the past. I think they still kind of resent my thinking in a way. lam certain they think I'm a little weird, but I ALSO see the lights coming on behind their eyes, when one of my speculations comes to pass ……So theyre really not 100% sure if Iam Clairvoyant or a clown.
I am not being hypocritical, I drive a nice car and the kids seem to like it too….but I tell them, it could be ONLY TEMPORARY, I could go back to a 1972 Vega tomorrow if need be, and I really could. lam enjoying a little indulgence right now, thats all, I don't owe anything so its not a matter of spending the milk money on my little indulgence.
If it ended tomorrow, I enjoyed the ride, Iam glad I got to do what I did. I wont be happy about it ending, but I got to see the other side of work and job reliance.
lam comfortable now and will hopefully spend the rest of my life being comfortable financially….HOWEVER…..and thats a BIG however…You can never accurately predict 100% of the time whats going to happen, personally, nationally or worldly….So enjoy the ride, and be as prepared as you can, knowing all the while you cannot think of or be prepared for everything. Keep your eyes open.
