It would be
nice to win a $358 million lottery, wouldn't it? We all fantasize about what we'd
do if and when we win that windfall.

Unfortunately, the odds of having an "anti-windfall"
are much, MUCH higher.

It happened to me a few years back. I was recently
divorced and had shelled out a wad of cash to pay the ex for the house. I
had regular child support payments. Then, in one weekend, my dishwasher,
oven, refrigerator and hot water heater died in what I can only assume was
a major appliance suicide pact.
Then my car died.
And my daughter needed glasses and dental work.
I was bleeding money. I could not earn enough at that point to outpace the
outgo.
But I survived. I kept plugging along. I nabbed a couple side jobs. And I
got through it.
And you will, too.
Even if you don't win the lottery.
IN THE CARAVAN:
Keep your spirits up and focus. You will get through financial downturns.
