What have you been training for?

How are you handling these unusual times?  How prepared are you?  Do you find yourself lacking in any area?

What an excellent time for self-assessment!  Take the time to evaluate your life from a spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, financial stand point.

Have you in the past been confused on a direction to take?  Are you still confused?

For instance, 5 years ago when I graduated from college I was excited to be earning my largest pay check to date.  I was also floundering in debt and living pay check to pay check.  I cried myself to sleep too many times to count worried about how I would feed my children that month.

I did a lot of research and settled on Dave Ramsey's system to dig myself out.  I have second guessed that decision over and over wondering if I should boost my investments over my debt pay off.  Right in the moment, I am so thankful that I stuck with my original decision.  We are a little over half way to paying off our consumer debt and if we needed to, we could survive the short term on Beardo's retirement.

Let's re-evaluate what we are doing by considering it our training session.  Are we training our finances for our end game?  Are we training our bodies to support us 10 years down the road?  Are we building emotional integrity?
