I had no debt, very little monthly expenses and I actually set money aside every paycheck. Myself included. When I finally accepted responsibility for my situation and took the steps to get out of it, I realized how much I actually love being a paramedic.
I suddenly stopped trying to convince myself that the only way out was to leave the profession. Getting on a budget and living within my means made me feel like I took a massive pay raise. Actually, within two months of my journey toward financial peace, I quit two of my jobs. It was the first time in over 10 years I only had one job.
When I thought up the idea for this article, I decided to reach out to people to see where they stand on their financial situation. Now, here comes the interesting part. When I surveyed people outside of EMS, I found there was absolutely no connection between the amount of money people made and their sense of contentment or financial security.
One thing I was able to determine with the survey is that financial practices did have a direct impact on the participants opinion of their financial situations. The rest had minimal debt and saved for emergencies. Being financially secure is a choice. We have to take accountability and stop blaming the industry for our financial woes. Nobody forced us into this line of work and nobody is holding a gun to our head to keep us here.
But if you love this job and you want to be here, then this article is for you. The first thing we have to do is figure out where we stand and get caught up on our essential bills. Open every bill you can find and start listing your debts from smallest to largest. Do a complete inventory on everything you own. Figure out what everything could sell for and start listing those items largest to smallest. You can either tell your money where to go, or wonder where it went.
When you budget, you are in complete control. Figure out what you make and give every dollar a job. After you cut your monthly expenses as low as you possibly can, then use the rest to start saving for a small emergency fund. Once you pay off your debts, you can build this to a higher number. Budgeting takes practice.
Being debt free is going to be absolutely essential to your financial wellbeing. Cut the credit cards, pay off the cars, tackle the student loans and make a commitment to never borrow another dime again. With debt comes risk and with risk comes stress. Losing your job, becoming sick or injured or losing a contributor to your household income could destroy your life overnight.
The banks are going to come take your house, your cars and anything else you financed. Imagine the same scenario if you were debt free and had three months worth of expenses saved up. Nobody is going to come take your belongings and you will have a nice little cushion to get by until you come up with a plan. Continue to make the minimum payments on everything and put anything extra toward the smallest debt.
If you are truly unhappy with your career, be real with yourself about the reasons.
