Part of the fun of growing up is not knowing exactly what is going to happen. Like watching any great movie, we don’t want the ending spoiled for us. While a little bit of uncertainty can be fun, that uncertainty must be well-placed. Otherwise, life can become stressful, monotonous, and ironically predictable.
What do I mean by this? Well, as boring as “Life Stage Planning” may sound, I guarantee that a lack of planning that results in being destitute will drastically narrow your opportunities: opportunities to travel, opportunities to go back to school, opportunities to see your family prosper… the list goes on. The point is – a plan opens up opportunities through security, thereby expanding the number of potential paths you may take in life. That sounds much more exciting, doesn’t it?
