New Jersey Baby Boomer

New Jersey can be somewhat expensive compared to living in other states around the country. Our taxes are relatively high, and perhaps higher because we chose to live in a rural part of the State where there are no big businesses to help with local taxes. And with “retirement” years ahead, if there will be such a thing for us, one is naturally concerned.

I just did an online quiz at Bills IQ to help me decide whether or not we are handling our finances well, and whether we need help with Debt consolidation, as we have a few bills and debts due to various life circumstances that seem to be common these days for many, including a period of time that my husband was unemployed…and another spell of that that will start in November if he doesn’t find a new job soon. Our grade after doing the quiz was a “B”, which isn’t terrible, but I know we could use some improvement, and BillsIQ seemed to provide some helpful solutions, including Debt help and resources for Debt relief. Maybe you’ll want to take the simple quiz they provide, it’s easy to do, and you’re provided with some options to decide what help might be best for you. You can chose one of these opportunities, or skip on to see your score. If you need the help, then check out the services they offer.

For now, I think we’re okay, but our wonderful Lord knows what the future holds, and we know He’ll show the way through the valleys.

Here’s an attempt at a little Haiku, which is a form of Japanese “poetry”, 3 lines - 1 with 5 syllables, the next with 7, then the third, 5 again. It often speaks of nature, seasons, etc.

Fall of life is here,
Know not what the future holds,
Bills IQ is near.
