The margin in your life, whether it's financial, networking, relationships or whatever you invest your energy into is that gap of resources which you don't allocate and leave open and free to allow for the unplanned events which happen in life.

Living below your means, only keeping a handful of close relationships near you, networking within your capacity to follow up and build strong relationships makes life much more manageable and productive.
