Quotes"It's a big deal right now with some of our clients, especially our actors whose shows have been completely shut down. So, the money they depended on in this last half of the year is non-existent. So we've got to pivot, and we've got to figure out what resources we have. What decisions were we going to make that we have to take back and change?" ~ Peggy Stephens"You should always have enough kind of set aside for a big event in your life so that you don't have to do things like selling a house and move to wherever just to be able to keep the lights on." ~ Peggy Stephens"I think, especially with things like cash reserves, there's an element that's qualitative. You can't measure the value of peace of mind. Like, what's the value of being able to sleep at night knowing that you've got three years of cash?" ~ Tyler Martin
