Out of the mouths of babes…

I just received an email from a fellow Keller Williams real estate agent, Tony Greer. He is an agent in the Canon City real estate market. This email was a short story about his daughter and a game of Monopoly…

“My daughter, 8-year-old Jillian, was telling me just yesterday about playing Monopoly with her babysitter, and how they developed a plan to give each other properties when one of them got into financial trouble. I asked her why she would want to just give property to her competitor, and she told me matter of factly, “BECAUSE DAD, if we help each other out when we get in trouble, we get to play together longer!”"

The current economy has got ALL of us re-evaluating what is (and what is NOT) really important in our lives. If we can look outside of or own stresses and reach out a hand to those who have it worse than us, we will ALL get to “play together longer.”
