It’s high time we started thinking and strategizing about our financial picture – especially now – on our own. Like many of you, I was a financial genius when I was younger and on my own. I let this skill lapse as I allowed my hubs to take over this part of our life and became complacent about our finances.

Big mistake! I wouldn’t recommend it.

The re-entry into becoming fiscally responsible was a painful one, but one I’m glad I endured – like so many other things in life.
