“The words on Forrest Gump’s T-shirt put it more bluntly: ‘S___ happens.’ And it happens so frequently that a rational person has no choice but to recognize it as an integral part of life. What’s especially irritating about it is that no matter how smart you are, no matter how successful you may be, and no matter how carefully you plan your financial affairs, sooner or later there will likely be unforeseen circumstances that will register 8.4 at your epicenter. All anyone can do to prepare for a seismic life shock of such a magnitude is to never forget that Fate sits on the other side of the Table of Life, plotting her next move. Make your financial moves very carefully.”
