What does your parachute look like?
November 4, 2008
Wanda at Well-Heeled‘s trying out a new game called Emergencyopoly which, as it turns out, is a game (slightly altered) that I’ve been playing for the past few months. I won’t rehash the update here, but it amuses me that this article from Savvy Sugar on back-up plans coincides with the theme of preparedness and a question we’ve all been asking ourselves:
What’s your backup plan? What does your parachute or lifeboat look like when the plane/ship goes down? If you lost your job tomorrow, do you know what you’d do? What are you doing right now to prepare?
Some answers I’ve heard:
1. Look for another job, doing anything necessary to pay the bills.
2. Take the leap to do something I’ve always wanted, but was too afraid to leave my job for.
3. *pointed to me* Hang onto Revanche as she walks out the door. [double take] “What?”
Yes, someone actually said I was their backup plan. Hah!
