With a chronically empty checkbook and no savings, they got into the habit of borrowing from credit cards and robbing their retirement funds every time an unexpected expense popped up. The Diva helped them realize that debt is the problem, not the solution, and they learned how to look for creative solutions when they needed cash. It's been a year since we first met the Lanes, and Sandy says they' re still on track and their financial position is getting healthier every day. They made their daughter's final tuition payment for the University of New Hampshire last month, and will use the extra cash they'll have available to pay down the debts. The frustration Sandy used to feel when she faced a pile of bills and an empty checkbook is history.
Spring is the season of renewal.
After a very harsh winter, Sandy saw some robins last week and looks forward to enjoying lots of sunny days ahead. Bankrate Inc. All rights reserved.
