On any given day, I was hustling kids to school, trying to get to work on time, handling after school activities, then dinner and bedtime. Finding time to focus on my money felt impossible. I paid my bills and my taxes, yes, but I was living paycheck to paycheck with no room in my budget to cover emergency expenses. I utilized high interest credit cards and racked up debt.
I had over 20K in debt, and I didn't have enough money to cover family emergencies.
When I was struggling to figure out the best way to make my money work for me, I felt lost. I knew the basics. Pay your bills. Pay your taxes. But as a busy mom, even keeping up with that was hard.
