We live in a chaotic and constantly changing world right now, and we could all use some stability. Children need stability, the weather needs stability, and our 401k’s need stability! High prices, airline delays, shortages, a pandemic, war, crime, 24/7 news and more have all added to our stress lately. Our world is changing at record rates.
