Crisis or Opportunity?

So where some people see a crisis, others see an opportunity, you can apply that to a lot of areas in life.

In the financial world, some of it has to do with your mindset, while some of it might have to do with the circumstances of your life or maybe your financial plan.

So we're going to talk about a couple of specific situations and how they might be viewed differently by different people and why some of these crises might actually be a right opportunity to the right person.

So the first one we're going to use as an example is the empty mind.

nest, often viewed as a crisis for some parents.

That empty nest stage of life is a joyous time, but for many families, it comes with a lot of sadness for mom and dad.

This is usually when the kids are leaving the house, right?

Well, it is, but let's, let's talk about the opposite just for a second.

So we can contrast it today, Walter.

So you no longer have the empty nest syndrome, right?

That's right.

You

have baby Everett and maybe another one someday.

We don't know yet, but so tell us the expenses or the joys you're going through right now with, with this.

Yeah.

So life was pretty comfortable financially and some of those kinds of things before having a baby.

You're in your routines and you kind of know what to expect each month and each year.

And now we've had a baby and now we are picking up and moving across the country.

We bought our house before selling our current house.

So we technically have two mortgages going on.

So You can imagine the stress levels a little bit high right now while all of that gets settled and kind of figured out over the next couple of weeks to a month or two here.

But I know that that'll that'll resettle a little bit.

But man, yeah, you have a kid and you start to see those expenses pile up and it's like, oh, and we're not even a year into this thing.

So we've got a lot of years of increased expenses and daycares and all of that stuff.

So, yeah, we're at the opposite end of the emptiness spectrum right now.
