I was driving to work this morning thinking that I would have around $30,000 in an offset account and could go out and maybe buy another property in a real estate market that is on the upcycle, then I looked at the car in front of me and I thought...
If I drive really close to the car in front of me; almost tailgating the car I could get to my destination a lot or a bit quicker, but on the flipside, if that car in front suddenly brakes, then I could "crash and burn" and lose the lot!
However, if I keep my required distance of 1-2 cars between the car in front and me, then I will still eventually reach the destination, but reduce my risk of having an accident and losing the lot.
I think this concluded to me the importance of having a decent buffer to assist with the unavoidable or things that pop up and having that buffer gives me SANF plus money for a rainy day. Maybe being a bit like the tortoise isn't such a bad thing
