Every few years I find I need to pull dollars out of nowhere. It&#8217;s usually just a crucial few day period between credit card dollars being credited and checks arriving in the mail. I\u00a0went in search of $4,000 before noon. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t count credit cards that had been run and were waiting to be credited to the account. That wouldn&#8217;t happen before noon. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t count checks that were not in my hand.\u00a0This month the magazine job was printed a week early. \u00a0I did not ask advertisers for their payments a week early. \u00a0There&#8217;s usually enough in the account that it doesn&#8217;t matter. \u00a0<span style=\"color: #993366;\">Earlier this year, I&#8217;d paid cash for several high ticket pieces of needed equipment, and had some emergency expenses. \u00a0<em>I don&#8217;t do credit cards; I have excellent credit and want to keep it that way. \u00a0I just forget to ask for 6 months same as cash.<\/em> I glanced at the books to see who owed me how much and called everyone. \u00a0With their dollars on the way, I still had to address the situation of $4,000 by noon<\/span>. \u00a0I began looking into the bank accounts and adding them up.<em> Particular accounts I just pretend don&#8217;t exist; that way I never go into them<\/em>. \u00a0Hmmm, if I transferred this here&#8230; all it took was me adding up for a combined total to see there was no problem. The only problem was me not having taken stock of what I already had on hand, and thinking I needed to go to outside sources. \u00a0Yes, I was owed the dollars on their way to me, but I still had &#8211; at the very moment I needed it &#8211; the dollars in hand to pay what needed to be paid when it was due. \u00a0It has never not happened. I have no reason to expect or believe it will ever be any different.
