Tornadoes close to home

May 17th, 2013 at 07:00 pm

The tornadoes that just hit Texas were about 15 miles from my house. We were slammed with large hail and high winds, but luckily we are all safe and we did not have any damage. As for our neighboring cities....they have been devastated by this horrible storm. Situations like this make me scared. Sure, I am scared of the weather itself. But I am more scared of the financial turmoil. We have $1000 in savings. I am overwhelmed with the thought of how quickly that can be blown away.


I am just left with the thought of how do I save and pay off debt and prepare for the future when there is only so much money coming in. Maybe its all just too much food for thought right now.

    Glad you are safe! Yes, there are numerous things that can happen in life, and an emergency fun can be crucial to avoiding complete devastation. Of course, insurance is important too.

    I hope you find the motivation you need to get things on track. I'm sure those of us here could help, if you want to lay out more financial details.

    The tornadoes in TX struck within two blocks of one of the places I lived in the mid-to-late 90s. Family friends in that same area had neighbors behind them lose their homes. Scary stuff indeed.
