A brief personal reflection this week but meant to factor in to short-term and long-term personal and family financial planning.
In the past week I was given sad news of the sudden and far-too-soon passing of not one but two old friends. Both were in the prime of their lives with spouses and young children, working and doing good in their families, workplaces, communities, and faiths. Certainly, the last thing on my mind was writing a TGIF 2 Minutes edition about these two people.
But upon further reflection on their lives, it was too compelling not to make a statement about YOLO, or You Only Live Once, and the spending on the YOLO category. I am not certain, but it is likely that these two people lived full lives with few if any regrets. In this light, there is a strong case to be made to figuring YOLO into a budget.
