Lots of financial ups and downs mid-life with career changes and financial emergencies. Survived unharmed except for time wasted worrying. Finally overwhelmed the beast about 25 years ago and inched to being debt free. No car payment, no mortgage, no credit card debt. And most months the income exceeds the routine cost of living. So comforting to feel solvent and able to take on the next emergency.
