How to Plan for Certainty in Uncertain Times

Last Updated on 12 months ago by Nicky Johnson

Nobody truly knows where the future will take you. In these uncertain times when working methods are drastically changing, and the cost of living is constantly on the rise, it is time to take matters into your own hands.

Planning your future has never been so important. Indeed, you are the catalyst that can either choose to be in control or take a back seat and let the unknown happen to you.

Invest in Yourself 

How to Plan for Certainty in Uncertain Times

Be in control and invest in yourself. Taking time to look after yourself should not be sneered at or put off for another day. There are, of course, different ways to invest in yourself; bettering your knowledge is most certainly top of the list, but you should also take care of your body as well.

Education 

Investing in your own education, regardless of your age, has countless benefits as it can lead you to a much more fulfilling career, as well as pay for your perfect lifestyle. Of course, to gain the best qualifications, you are going to have to attend prestigious educational establishments.

These establishments are undoubtedly in high demand, so knowing any entry criteria for your desired courses would be advantageous to know the chance that your application would actually be accepted or rejected. This, too, can be found by using the college acceptance calculator at campusreel

Investing in yourself in this way will certainly put you in more control over your career and the lifestyle of yourself and your loved ones. Having a career that brings you job satisfaction and makes you happy can impact other areas of your life and your mental well-being too.

Health 

Health is also very important, especially when medical costs are so high, and life can change in an instant. Taking regular exercise and getting out in the fresh air bring benefits that are not just physical but also help mental well-being.

Combining exercise with fresh air needn’t have to be running around the neighborhood; it can be a relaxed walk or even some gardening. 

Of course, health doesn’t start and stop at exercise, as any nutritionist will tell you. You have to make sure that you are putting the right nutrients, vitamins, and minerals into your system to have it behave properly and function well.

Undoubtedly, combining your education with a health or fitness-orientated career will mean that you get the best of both worlds, and you will be able to help others achieve and maintain their health goals as well.

Have Fallback Ideas 

However, it is not likely to be a bed of roses all of the time, and you should make sure that you have fallback ideas to make a bit of additional money or to gain that all-important support.

Side Hustles

Having side hustles that are simply running alongside your career can be more like a paying hobby, especially if they are ones that require little time or effort once they are up and running, such as selling Amazon print-on-demand books. All the work for this side hustle is done upfront. 

Signing up for an Amazon selling account and then designing the book’s covers, writing (or leaving internal pages blank or lined for drawing or notes) that you want to sell. The more books you design, the more likely you are to sell them.

Once they are designed and listed, though, that is it. If a customer buys one, you will be paid, and the listing will stay live until you take it down. Amazon deals with printing and posting the book, and you can relax and get on with your day.

Investments

You should make sure that you have investments in place. Talking to a qualified and experienced financial adviser will certainly be a good idea as they will know the best ways to invest your money.

Take into consideration that for higher-yielding investments, your money is likely to be tied up for a longer period, so you will not have access to it. 

So, to wrap it all up

You should make sure that you take control of your life regardless of your age. Investing in your education, learning new skills, and gaining qualifications is certainly a good idea. If you are in your youth, it can sway your whole future.

If you are elderly, it can help to keep your mind young and working well. So, you should always look after your health and keep little paying hobbies ticking over in the background to help pay for rainy days.
