Life Happens.

So you were hurrying to work, late for a meeting, and you backed out of the driveway a little too quickly...YIPE! YIPE! YIPE! It’s all right, Gizmo is going to be fine...after a hefty vet bill. And you were just getting ahead financially. Sheesh. File it under “Life Happens.”

Kids. Car trouble. Spending spree. Unexpected illness. Yes, life happens, with or without our consent. It’s filled with twists and turns, many times with expenses for which we haven’t planned.

And when life happens, everyone has a story to tell.

Your daughter came home upset from school today. It seems her classmates were teasing her about her smile, some of her teeth are a bit crooked. You’ve been meaning to make an appointment with the orthodontist, and now it looks like it better happen sooner rather than later. Because kids can be so cruel, file it under “New braces.”

Your car has been making squealing noises for a few weeks. No biggie. But now when you try to stop at red lights, the vehicle shimmies and shakes, and you have to push harder on the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. Because stopping is even more important than starting, file it under “New brakes.”

That float trip may not have produced any fish, but it did produce a tick bite. Now your husband isn’t feeling well with a very literal case of a “bug.” A trip to the doctor will prove whether or not it’s a tick-born disease. Because the great outdoors isn’t always so great, file it under “Unexpected illness.”

Yes, life happens. One minute your budget is solid, the next it’s riddled with holes and leaking badly. There are times when things happen that are out of our control. Other times we just make decisions we later regret. We ALL do. Whatever the case, it’s all about getting your financial life back on track.

No need to be embarrassed. We’ve heard it all.

Bottom line, as a cooperative, we count on our members and our members count on us. That’s why your financial health is so important. It’s for the greater good of all.
