Financial Preparedness, Month 4 (November 2013)

It's now time to eliminate your debt, or at least make a concrete, month-by-month plan to do so. Complete Steps 8 through 11 (under “Eliminate and Avoid Debt”) in The Family Finance Workshop booklet.  (We're switching the order of Steps in November and December to give you more time in December to celebrate the holidays.)  If you have a large amount of debt, this can seem like a daunting task, like it will take forever. The booklet shows you how you actually can conquer debt, payment by payment. It will take some faith and perhaps some real sacrifice, but once you are debt-free, the relief and freedom you feel will be worth it and you will have become stronger for it. Read “Peter's 'Power Down' Story” in Appendix E of the finance booklet. It is truly inspirational and will increase your hope that you too can be free from debt.
