243 | When We Need it Most

The quality of our saving all comes down to access.

Because the same number means wildly different things to different people.

And wildly different things to the same person in a different season.

But the ever-present question with saving is…

Can I tap into what I’ve set aside when I need it most?

Sometimes we pick when we “need it most” and sometimes we’re volun-told.

So here we are, five equally “wealthy” people…

The numbers say they’re the same net worth - the black dots - or the sum of the blue, gray, and yellow less the red.

But which would you pick to be yours?

Does it matter if you love your job?

Or if you hate it?

What if a big spending decision is looming?

Or if one has finally moved behind you?

What if you want to be more generous?

Or if you have a habit of creative generosity?

What if you’re in a season that allows you to save?

Or a season that is forcing you to dip into savings?

We could keep asking questions, but they’ll keep highlighting the fact that saving is more art than science.
