It comes as no surprise that you, of all people, have no idea how to prepare your finances for challenging or difficult times. However, I'm not about to spend the next 2 years training you. I suggest you start with these books and go on from there:0 -

I would suggest more a matter of lucky timing rather than any great skill.0 -

They will also get the police involved if required.

Ahh, pretending now that you have forgotten the question?
That's very clever on a platform such as this. You could have just answered, but no, you have to do a dance and make a scene..... you used to be a decent poster. Now no better than those making up 5 names a day. Bizzarely, that person seems to be the only one who hasn't given up on you. Must share a determination no one else could be bothered with.0 -

It means when someone is prepared/pre-disposed to make changes to their lifestyle, ways of thinking, investment strategie, spending habits, priorities etc etc in order to prosper when things change in their personal circumstances or changes occur in the wider economy that affect their life.
I'm just wondering how many of the bulls will cope when IRs go back up and things get difficult. Adapting is easy when things are going your way. That may not last however.0
