You start to compromise what really matters. You take shortcuts or settle.
The key is to never get below zero. Finding ways to save or replenish so that you don’t get into a situation where you could make a bad decision. A short term decision.
When you run out it’s already too late. You don’t have to have a surplus. We focus too much on having more than we need. You just need enough to get you through. Enough to be safe, healthy, and relatively happy.
