You have to stay agile enough to traverse an ever changing rocky path. And wear a hard-hat (cash buffer) if you are afraid of rock falls.

The future is uncertain. No matter what you do it will not go exactly as planned. Learn to accept that and then you can learn to deal with it.
Did your "worst case scenario" include the collapse of Lehmann and the resulting panic? Thought not. Then the time is better spend making money than trying to predict the future.

With 0 days planning.
Planning to keep it that way.
Works for me.
My ex once said of me "When you say you're skint you're down to your last 10K".
After 25 years contracting it's all instinct.

Does everyone still find the idea of planning so dull now that there's a point or so to be scored (alledgedly) in the business entity test for having a regularly updated business plan?
