Few people have the courage to seek out change. It’s for. the Total Money Makeover”. I am working on debt free. This is because I thought I had all the bases covered when I left teaching and could not teach anymore. I had all the doctors in agreement with my disability and my brain injury. I didn’t realize it was tied up in workmanship comp negotiations. I went for a years with no money coming in and $800 a month in health insurance payments going out. Not good. So now I rebuild and I pay off debt. I would have been better off I ha the house paid off once, but four years ago it flooded with the rest of the state. Every time I went to fix something, I couldn’t just fix it, I had to fix it and bring it up to code from the 1950s and as one thing got done another cropped up. What a mess and a new mortgage on the house…….luckily with help I never was in danger of losing the house. I had the payments payed up six months in advance. A little preplanning luck.
I didn’t seek out this change but a lot of things in the duplex go updated, and yes I had insurance even extra insurance. It paid nothing. So change is good even if it’s not sought out.
