We are at the point in our lives that we are looking to retire. Which means we want to get rid of debt. Don't get me wrong our finances are not horrendous but we like many others have had to use credit cards now and again. The housing bubble bursting back in 2008 killed us. We lost all our equity in our previous house.
Anyway in the 34 years that we have been married, there have been times where I dreaded paying bills. I was always unsure if we were going to have enough to live off of. The worse times were when my husband was only getting paid monthly.
But nowadays, paying bills is not scary at all. We are diligently paying down debt. We have paid off our house and are down to one car payment. We will be able to pay that one off shortly and purchase another one to replace the 14 yr old car my kids are driving.
Removing the stress of finances goes along way toward wellness.
Have you done a financial checkup?
