Elephant Fricase

11/20/2022

 
By Brad Thomason
 
How do you eat an elephant?
 
One bite at a time.
 
It’s an old joke.  It’s not even particularly funny.
 
But it makes a worthwhile point.
 
If you have a big job to do, taking it as a series of small jobs is a very practical way to proceed.
 
I spend a lot of space in this forum making the point to you that the job of planning for and then managing your retirement income, is a big one.  In so doing, I’m trying to set off a chain of logic in your mind that goes something like this:
 
1.      This sounds like a big job.
2.     So I better get started early.
3.     And I better pace myself, because there’s going to be some persistence required.
4.     As I proceed, I need to not get discouraged by the fact that I’m not finished.
5.     I didn’t expect to be finished quickly in the first place, so the fact that I’m still at it is not something I need to worry about.
 
 
Good luck, stay with it, and don’t forget the hot sauce.  Or the napkins.  Happy Thanksgiving.
