After leaving my last (very long) steady job, I was terrified about money. Because there’s no financial buffer but what I save. Even though I only have myself to support, it’s something I think about every day. That’s probably a result of knowing how hard my mom worked when I was growing up to give me everything I needed and some of the things I wanted. Really, I'm obsessive.
This is all only to say that I think about money a lot. So, discovering the blog Feminist Finance a few weeks ago was fantastic for me. The writer covers practical tips to get out of debt, to buying local produce, the importance of mentoring, and a lot more. If you’re part of a couple, she’s also got a lot of interesting content on dealing with joint financial lives.

Well, whatever you do, don't go here. Unless you just like projectile vomiting.

Debt is that which is owed; usually referencing assets owed, but the term can also cover moral obligations and other interactions not requiring money. In the case of assets, debt is a means of using future purchasing power in the present before a summation has been earned. Some companies and corporations use debt as a part of their overall corporate finance strategy. A debt is created when a creditor agrees to lend a sum of assets to a debtor. In modern society, debt is usually granted with expected repayment; in many cases, plus interest. Historically, debt was responsible for the creation of indentured servants. Debt consolidation isn’t something a lot of people know about or even know if they need. If you are at your credit limit, it might be time for you to look into it. One of the first things you should do if you enter into debt consolidation is to stop using credit if at all possible. Using payday loans is far better than adding fuel to the fire with credit cards. Credit card interest adds up. If they are what got you into trouble in the first place then you might want to lay off the cards. It's better to use installment loans then make the problem worse after you begin debt consolidation. If there would be no debt, there’s no money!
