Balanced Existence

We have a funny relationship with sugar. One the one hand, we think of sugar as fun: there are sugar fairies, sharing sweets with friends, sweet treats, and a reward for a job well done. But we have other thoughts about sugar: that nagging sensation in the back of our brain that wonders if the sugar we are eating may be harmful.

Our real financial crisis is that we buy now and pay later. We spend now and save later. We enjoy right now, and leave knuckling down for later. The problem with all those “laters” is that they seem to all come together at once and at the worst possible time. Instead we can choose to do them now and enjoy the benefits of doing so.
