Christian Moms in Debt (and getting out!): Get Your Will Done!

The Change Jar

Several months ago I began to put all of my spare change in an old opaque pitcher. I had tried saving change in clear glass jars but I found that the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" was true. If I could see those shiny quarters, I would use them. With the change out of sight, up on the top of an old fashioned free-standing kitchen pantry, the change stays there. It's actually my first attempt to not spend every bit of money in my wallet. This jar has a purpose: Christmas. But the mere fact that I am saving money and watching it grow gives me tangible satisfaction. I encourage you to do the same. Let's save for that rainy day, Christmas, or whatever!

About the Author

I am the proud mother of four great kids and wife to the most patient man on earth. Over the course of the last seven years, I have gotten us into a large amount of debt through bad habits, unwise choices, and circumstances beyond our control. I decided to share my struggle to pay it all back with other moms, knowing that there are others out there in the same predicament. I had enough of worrying about how we are going to pay the bills, send kids to college, have money for retirement while I played chicken with our checking account. Desiring a better way of life, I started this journey to becoming debt free one step at a time.

Get Your Will Done!

My husband and I just finished signing our new wills today at a lawyer's office. Don't put off getting a will done thinking you have years ahead of you. Your kids need the protection for their inheritance, which at this point, is mostly life insurance from us, but hopefully once we have paid off all of this debt, will be a lot more than that! You can get them done for about $500 dollars each usually or you can find cheaper deals out there through free legal services in your town.
