What Do You Do To Make Yourself Feel Secure?

I maintain my faith in God, strive for a good relationship with my family, stretch my creativity, put $10,000 in dh's 401K account each year come rain or shine, and stockpile.

Trusting in God, believing in myself, and paying off those stupid credit cards so I'm not a slave to them anymore.

Trust in my family and friends, and put money in the bank!

Keep myself in good shape, physically, mentally, spiritually.

I don't allow myself to worry excessively. I mean everyone worries from time to time but I just don't allow myself to do it for more than just a few minutes over any one thing. I figure that life has been going on for ages and my worrying isn't going to change things much

I do try to live below my means, eat well, exercise and let those that I love know just how much.

believing in god & praying....always think positive (sometimes its so hard), always have a sense of humor, trust & confide in my good friends!!

I try to think of the big picture instead of the immediate crisis.

Put as much away in DH's deferred comp.

Pay our bills first.

Plan, plan, plan

Money only goes so far. My mother was so sick she reached her million dollar mark and left my father in debt for thousands of dollars. I have faith in God and my family because when things come right down to the line that's all we really have. We tend to think that if we worry enough that bad thing won't happen to us, but we all know that bad things can happen to anyone. I think the older we get the more we realize this.
