Careful planning re: frugal spending and staying focused on paying down debt and patience with savings are to my advantage. Sometimes, however, it isn't always easy or within one's control....to a point.Getting laid off and being unemployed for 1.5 years wasn't easy. That is how I incurred debt. But I controlled it by applying for employment anywhere they were hiring. I guess this is where luck can prevail, because I was at the right place at the right time. The retail manager approached me while I was browsing, asking me a few non-personal questions. One thing led to another and next thing I know, I am hired. I've been working ever since.This job I have is my niche; it is where I am happiest, and with careful planning I've been able to take control of my finances and put myself in the position I am in today. Hard work also goes a long way. Just some thoughts. My so-called luck doesn’t exist when it comes to my finances.

Anyone with a real financial plan who systematically invests is not lucky, they are prepared and disciplined and are playing the long-term odds to get the full return of the financial markets.
