Our Story
Being Prepared Works is a education website helping others “being prepared for life”. Regardless of where you are at in your life, our purpose is to create a community where we can all learn from each other and be prepared for almost anything that we will come across.
Everyone knows the story of Noah and the Ark. Let me tell you why this story relates to us. Noah was told that floods would be coming and he needed to build an ark. It would seem impossible that the whole earth would be flooded, but he built the ark anyways. He built it to certain specifications so it would survive the flood. If the ark was missing boards, a roof or other parts water would have come in and sunk the ark. The water is all the things that will come at us in life. We must build our own ark to protect us from life.
Being Prepared Works is built upon 10 principles:
Self Sufficiency
- Principle 1: Spending Plans
- Principle 2: Debt Elimination
- Principle 3: Rainy Day Fund
- Principle 4: Emergency Planning
- Principle 5: Credit
- Principle 6: Personal Education/Career
Uncertainties of Life
- Principle 7: Insurances
- Principle 8: Estate Planning
Retirement Planning
- Prinicple 9: Tax Advantaged Retirement Accounts
You will never be able to prepare 100% for everything, but the purpose of Being Prepared Works is to help you prepare as much as possible. To begin with, I hope that you can learn from my experiences as I began building my own ark. As we go through this journey together, my greatest hope is that we begin to learn from each other and be more prepared for our learning experiences in this life.
I wish you the best on this journey
Andrew
