You looked ahead six months ago. You’ve been budgeting $100 every month for the insurance premium. Now it’s due, and you have $600 ready to go. Where did the “extra” $100/month come from? When you follow Rule One and start giving every dollar a job, your money starts to obey. It lines itself up with your priorities. It’s not magic, though it feels that way. So, that cRaZy month, that would have sent you into complete and utter panic mode, was no big deal. Kind of boring, actually.
