Naturally, I'm talking about your finances. When it comes to your regular bills and expenses many of us have a hard time making plans to pay bills that we know are coming. What can we do to plan for unexpected?

All to often when we have an expense that wasn't neatly placed in our budget we grab credit cards. Needless to say this is just what credit card companies are hoping for. If this persists result is serious financial problems. It all boils down to spending more than you make each month.

To avoid this you need to have money put back to cover your unexpected or unplanned expenses. As always this is easier said than done if you are already struggling. But, like we used to say in Navy, "The difficult tasks are a piece of cake. It's impossible that takes a little longer".

I know for myself and most of people I have counseled over years, that it wasn't until we took a good hard look at how we got ourselves in debt, that we were able to start working on a way out. This isn't for purpose of placing blame, but is necessary to determine what changes needed to be made and to prevent it from happening again.
