Here’s why workplace life insurance might not be enough

Unexpected events shouldn't leave your loved ones financially exposed. And while employer coverage is a nice perk, it usually only offers 2x your salary – far below the recommended 10-15x for real security (especially with dependents). Term life insurance can bridge the gap with customizable, affordable plans. Money’s Best Life Insurance list can help you find coverage starting at just $7/month, providing the peace of mind your family deserves.

🥺My Own Debt Crisis

Okay, time to get a little raw with ya’ll…

This still makes me emotional as I write this.

Let me share something personal with you.

A few years into my relationship, my husband went bankrupt.

He'd been carrying a mountain of debt for years, and watching him deal with the emotional toll was heart-wrenching.

I remember the 12+ creditor calls he'd get each day.

The way his phone ringing would trigger his anxiety. The shame he felt, even though I never judged him for it.

He suffered heavily and at times still feels guilt about it now.

Even though I'd always been good with money myself, this experience opened my eyes to how deeply debt affects our mental health.

🔍 The Real Impact of Debt Stress 

Picture this: You're lying in bed at night, and instead of sleeping, you're:

• Calculating payments in your head

• Worrying about unexpected expenses

• Feeling that knot in your stomach every time a bill notification pops up

• Avoiding opening statements because you're afraid of what you'll see

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

💡 Breaking Free from the Mental Load

1. Acknowledge Your Situation Without Judgment 

For my husband, the turning point came when we stopped avoiding the situation and faced it head-on.

We researched agencies, signed the paperwork, and literally overnight, the creditor calls stopped.

It wasn't easy, but that first step of acknowledgment was like taking a deep breath after being underwater.

2. Create a Clear Plan (And Celebrate Small Wins) 

My husband's situation?

Well, after the bankruptcy, we created a system.

Every tiny financial win became a celebration - even just making a plan felt like progress.

3. Gamify Your Debt Repayment 

Here's something fun we discovered: Turning debt payoff into a game changes everything.

We created visual trackers (which, by the way, inspired my debt tracking spreadsheets), and watching those progress bars fill up became oddly addicting.

4. Manage the Emotional Burden 

When my husband finally opened up about his debt stress, it changed our relationship for the better.

Having someone to talk to - whether it's a partner, friend, or financial community - makes the journey less lonely.

✨ Transform Your Relationship with Debt 

You know what's amazing?

My husband now runs his own successful business.

He's completely debt-free and has a healthy relationship with money.

The transformation didn't happen overnight, but it happened because we created systems that worked for both the financial and emotional aspects of debt.

My husband and I almost didn't make it to our own wedding because of debt restrictions.

Today, we're planning a move to New Zealand and building our dream home.

To your financial and emotional freedom,
