    Your Debt Comfort Zone

    If you're in debt, you're not alone. Consumer debt in America is at an all-time high. It's important that everyone know their own "debt comfort zone" and understand that it can change at different times during your life. It's especially important to take responsibility for our money as we face life events like: retirement; caregiving for elderly loved ones and spouses; and changes in our own health and abilities.

    No one wants to be retired and deep in debt. There are some basic steps to help motivate you. You may be scared or overwhelmed. That's natural. But don't wait. Taking charge of your finances will make you feel better — you'll have less worry and anxiety.
