Mrs. Romer, my third-grade teacher, gave a brief description of the parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective; then asked us to list as many examples as we could for each category which she wrote in brightly colored markers, a different color for each part of speech, on large chart paper. I do remember the colors which pleased my eye.

What makes me remember this entire lesson, however, was when she had the class stand up from our seats to perform the actions of the words we had listed on the “Verbs” poster: jump, skip, walk, stand, dance… Together we 

moved. The children of the class jumped. We skipped. We walked in a circle around the classroom. We stopped and stood. We danced!

Debt part 3

Refinance and debt consolidation

 

Continuing another article related to debt, I want to share some information about two strategies that can help you better manage your financial obligations: refinancing and consolidation.

- Refinancing means replacing an existing loan with a new financial

obligation that offers better terms: a lower interest rate or lower monthly

payments.

- Consolidation means combining several debts into a single loan with one

monthly payment, often at a lower rate.

These options can save you money and reduce financial stress, let’s remember that financial empowerment path is about being in control of your finance. Both strategies require careful evaluation, there can be cost associated.

Finally, there is a “last” legal solution call Bankruptcy is used only when debts cannot be repaid, you have to keep in mind that it can impact your credit for years.

Always consult with a financial advisor before making any decision.
