Winterizing our House and our Life

We spent this past weekend getting our house ready for the winter. We took our outdoor lights down, cut our plants back, started up the snow blower and many other daunting tasks. Every year we get ready for winter the same way. We put away everything that is not snow-proof and we put it in a safe spot so it is there for us in the Spring. Every year we do this! I am sure you do the same things every year when it comes to winterizing your house. So now the weekend is over and we have done everything we could to get ready for winter. Our summer clothes are put away, our winter clothes are out, our summer decorations are put away and our winter decorations are put up. We spent 2 days getting ready for a change in season. Wow, 2 whole days. As I was driving this weekend running errands I saw a lady out at her house like I did last weekend raking up her leaves. For 2 days last weekend and 2 more days this weekend she spent raking leaves. That is a full 4 days she spent raking her leaves. We will never get that time back that we spent Winterizing our House. And we do this every year and for every season. We are losing countless days that we will never get back. What is my point? People go their whole lives Winterizing everything in their lives, but never Winterizing themselves. When was the last time you took care of your financial future or thought ahead to what your future looks like? It was probably a month ago when the stock market fell apart and your 401k lost a ton of money. What are you doing to Winterize (i.e. PROTECT) yourself, your family, and your future to ensure you have many enjoyable days ahead?
