I am frequently asked how does the universe balance things out financially. I often mention when prices go up on something, they drop on other things, or there are other things going on that reduce expenses.
Here are a couple of recent examples to illustrate what happens. I was going to a concert with my friend at Red Rocks, the first time for both of us. I had an opportunity for an out of town booking and with my schedule, the easiest time coincided with the concert. I explained to my friend the situation and he understood and would see if anyone else would go to the concert. As it turned out no one could so I covered the cost of the tickets and would see if I could sell them.
I was at a baseball game in town and was chatting to the people next to me and they just happened to mention they got their tickets from Stubhub an online service that for a fee matches buyers and sellers up for ticketed events. It was all legitimate and I put mine up for sale, and as it turned out was able to sell them for $60 more for each them than I bought them for after fees.
Another example was in San Francisco, I didn't know the Bart trains had cut back services on Sundays, so I had to take a taxi to get to the airport to catch my flight, which was $50. A few days later out of the blue, a client I had not heard from in over 5 years called for an appointment, which more than balanced out my extra expense for the taxi fare.
That's the way it works, though I must point out if I were to be angry or annoyed at either of those situations, then there would have been a strong likelihood that I would not have been in alignment to receive the money, just in alignment for it going out.
The issue for most is to trust that it will balance out and I can provide many examples, until you have experienced it for yourself it makes it harder to trust. Take a chance a trust first, otherwise you could end up going around in circles.
