Hello @ifarmgirl. I always say that it's now how you start out, but how you end up. I was pleased to hear that you did obtain some assistance in learning how to become financially stable.
Looks like you have a solid formula. My strategy also. SAVE first, then budget the rest. My Savings is an automatic 10%. You and your husband are on the right path. It's essential to be financially secure when you become senior citizens. Careers that offer privater retirements are dwindling. Having to secure you own supplemental insurance can be expensive. This includes the cost of medications.
I applaud you for taking steps to correct what you didn't learn when younger. It takes years sometimes to build financial resources to the point of being secure.
I love how you use your Hive resources to work as passive income. I also do the same.
Thanks for sharing your story. A lovely read.
Have a good weekend.

Thank you lots and I agree with you. What matters is starting and keep going for it consistently.
I'm also glad to know that you save first and then budgeting what's left for the bills and others. It's good to have something to pull when old age arrives. And truly, retirement benefits from work can't be relied upon. Some people who have done that ended up being disappointed.
And yes, Hive is giving us another way to save and build for the long term. Thank you once again.
