bills stress me out. i use my gmail inbox as a to-do list and sometimes it just fills up with bills. i recently changed the label color from red to yellow in an attempt to reduce the visual presence therefore reducing anxiety. i think it worked.
i’m also committed to rebuilding my emergency fund this year. it took quite the dive (from at least one mortgage payment to zero) during my recent life-changing event, and it scares me to not have a back up plan in case something comes up.
eventually, i’d like to have three 3-month cds, each with enough cash for one month of bills and just roll them over every three months. a guy i work with does this and it’s genius. it’s a daunting task that i’m sure will take me a while (especially while attempting to reduce my debt). hopefully i’ll accomplish it before anything happens.
that said, my inbox currently has no bills, so i’m feeling good today.
