“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
― Benjamin Franklin
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”
― Abraham Lincoln
“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
― Warren Buffett
Before you do anything else, make a plan. Don’t move out. Don’t approach your spouse about a divorce. Don’t tell your children you are leaving their mother or father. Don’t move out of state. Don’t take all of your money out of savings and put it in a shoe box. Don’t do any of these things without a plan in place.
How do you get a plan? Simple. You meet with a professional who knows knows the law and who cares about your situation, make a plan, and make it happen.
