Manage Your Money God's Way - I'm Going Back to Work, Now What?

Finally, we are beginning to recover from all the shutdowns that began in February and got worse in March and April and people are going back to work.  When you get back to your job, it’s also the time to get back to your new financial normal.
Create a budget, and use that to create a crisis budget.  Build up your emergency fund and start digging out of any debt you incurred.  It will be a long hard road, but starting now will put you in a better position if there is another emergency around the corner.
The Compass Blog has more on how to get back to some sense of financial normal.

Anne discusses the toll student loan debt is taking on vocations, as well as possible solutions to this crisis.
