We often hear – prepare for the worst but hope for the best.  This is an example of the 50/50 of life. Nothing is ever all positive or all negative.  There is yin and yang to life and it reveals itself to balance out at 50/50. It's a beautiful thing.  When I go to a big box store to stock up, I get to have a math lesson and discussion with my high schooler about buying a hedge against inflation.  I buy today at today’s prices knowing that my protein source can of sardines may cost double next month.  Purchasing ahead of time is an activity that gives me some peace of mind and saves money.  Where do you counterbalance in your life?
