Organize your money matters. Whether that means sorting your receipts, color-coding your budget, or researching economic justice strategies, focus on creating smoother financial sailing. But prepare for confusion to reign anyway. A little forethought can mitigate the effects of any curveballs thrown your way, but you can never entirely stop minor chaos from doing its thing. Instead of trying to prevent it, stay flexible and laugh at what you can’t control. The ingenuity we develop in tricky situations is its own valuable currency.
