payments

In 1998, there was a major national settlement involving multiple states and some major tobacco companies.

I wonder what determines when or why some payments are made in advance and others delayed?

Define “rich.” Being a millionaire or billionaire? Or is rich being able to live your life on your terms?

How well did you handle your money in 2014? Were you living paycheck to paycheck? Falling behind in paying bills or paying them late?

My first step was to determine how much debt we actually had and how we were going to have to put ourselves on a money diet.

Are you underwater? Spending more than you make? Then every dollar of debt you can retire is the same as getting a raise.
