Back to the (Financial) Future
With a new house adding to my total assets and net worth, I’ve been looking at my finances rather closely lately. I’ve decided the smart thing to do with my inheritance check (rather than all those things I’d like to have) is to pay off a couple of credit card debts and my closing cost loan from the sellers of my house. That’s a good amount of Debt help that’ll leave me feeling better about my budget.
I’m still going to get my furniture and paint, and a few small things that shouldn’t add up to very much, and the rest is going to giving me a little less headache every month when I pay bills. I think having that breathing room is a gift that is going to keep on giving!
If you’re financially retarded, you may want to take a trip over to Bills.com and take their Bills IQ test. I scored a B, because I’m financially ditzy but at least I know where my problems lie. You may find that Debt consolidation is a route you may need to look into. If you’re struggling to make the bills each month, Bills.com can hook you up with some good Debt relief resources, before you need to file for Bankruptcy, which could really hurt your credit.
