Ace in the hole

Who’s your ace in the hole?  Who’s that one person you can depend on in a crisis? Who can be your bedrock when everything else crashes down around you?  Do you know who this person is during the good times? Are you feeding that relationship so they are there when there’s a crisis? Do you have plenty of capital in your emotional rainy day fund?  It can be a friend. A spouse. Or in my case both.

I know I haven’t been particularly good of investing during the good times. But I must have done something right.  My wife Amy has been nothing short of amazing over the past two weeks. She fell in love with me when I was a janitor and I have been reminded that she believes in me not because of what I do, but because of who I am.  That’s powerful.  She’s my ace in the hole.

Who’s yours?
