Suffering INTENSE trepidation right now
I finally got my wife to make an appointment for tonight. We are going to go over every bill and debt we have to determine an effective budget that will allow us to pay off everything, including the mortgage, before her pension date of 9/8/16. The plan is to also still have money to play in the meantime. I mean, what's the sense in retiring if I can't play?
The only dealings I have EVER had with our money was earning it, and maxing out my TSP contributions. Other than that it's been a total hands-off for me. But the sudden death of a friend's wife left him absolutely lost. I don't want that to happen to either of us.
Tonight's discussion will also include what she has to do with the Feds if I should happen to croak; life insurance, line of duty death, retaining medical benefits, that sort of thing. Suffice to say, she'd be set for life.
