Living below our means and knowing where we spend our money are part of a simple plan to alleviate financial stress.
At the beginning of our marriage, before I had any idea of how to manage our finances, I frequently worried over money. Maybe that’s natural for a newly married couple with $70,000 of debt and still looking for employment. However, it wasn’t how we wanted to live.
What I wanted was clear, calm thoughts and the ability to fall asleep at night with a quiet mind. What I had was a minor obsession with paying off our debt and worrying about every little purchase.
