Bills IQ

Every Thursday evening or Friday morning I try to compile in my head a list of things that need to be done on payday and where all my money needs to be allocated. I have a ton of behind bills due to not working for 4 months. I got a settlement offer on one today for $210 on a $535 balance so I think I’m going to suck it up and pay it so that I’ll be all set with that one. I can do a little at a time, right? Don’t want to overwhelm myself.

Just for kicks I went and took a quiz to get my BillsIQ and I’m honestly not surprised. I got a 77% aka a C. A lot of it didn’t apply because I don’t have a steady job to start investing for retirement or life insurance but my bills need to be caught up like I said I already know that. Right now I’ll admit I’m not paying as much as I COULD be but I’m also not sinking further into debt either. I’m slowly digging out. I’d like to avoid getting overly stressed about anything because then i’ll just make myself miserable and god knows there is enough going on in life to stress about without adding to any of it. You could go and take yours as well just to see where you stand. They’ve also got some nice tips if you’re looking for a bit of advice on your financial situation.
