When you are on the ropes you take what you can get. You buy the last snow shovel in the store as the blizzard roles in even though it's expensive and lousy. You take the first job offer you get because you are unemployed despite it being a lousy job that pays to little. You buy a blender for $30 because that's all you had the money for, but you need one tonight.
Sometimes that is just the way it is. Life doesn't always deal us good hands. However, if you plan ahead and push for it it is possible to begin developing some flex room.
Then you get the deluxe snow shovel on sale. You get a sweet job for great pay because you didn't need it and could be patient and negotiate. You get the awesome $300 blender because you saved up and got it on sale.
Planning ahead makes a huge different. It doesn't always work, but when it does life gets better. It is so satisfying when it plays out well.
Here's to thinking ahead and not settling because you have to.
