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.

It’s a great pleasure to be part of this wonderful group of women, and at the center of the group is Beverly Mahone, where would we be without her!! I want to share some of a press release with you, and since I’ll just bet Beverly will find her way over here sometime soon, want to thank her for ALL that she has done for us! THANK YOU BEVERLY!! And fellow Diva’s that may stop by, ((((hugs)))) to you all!

They’re known as Baby Boomer Divas—women over 40 who are on the move and making a difference in their personal and professional lives. This month the group celebrates its one year anniversary. The idea to create a Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame came from baby boomer author and expert Beverly Mahone who says, “This was my way to honor baby boomer women who were doing great things at midlife but weren’t getting their deserved recognition.

So what is a DIVA? According to Mahone, she’s a baby boomer woman who’s Divinely, Inspired, Vivacious and Anointed.

Mahone says the Divas are all very talented women who come from very diverse backgrounds around the globe. “We come from all walks of life and different races and are eager to share our knowledge and resources. We’ve had a few bumps in the road and some detours but we continue to persevere. Mahone adds that in addition to a global presence, they are also honored to have celebrities like actresses Debbie Zipp and Bern Nadette Stanis who are active members and want to offer their assistance in helping them grow.

Since its inception, the Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame has continued to grow by leaps and bounds. Mahone says the Web of Fame is now officially known as Boomer Diva Nation—a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of resources to assist fellow boomer women in their endeavors. It’s also a place where women can network

Mahone anticipates the groups continued growth over the coming year. “Who would’ve ever thought last year that something called the Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame would turn into what it is today?”
