Some things are better known (poetry prompt)

they said that ignorance is bliss but I gradually realized that this does not apply to finances.

to know exactly what the date is that you might pay off a certain debt or exactly what date you might save up to a certain savings goal

is empowering even if you have to run a few simulations based on how much you might be contributing on a regular basis

(hello plan A to Z) ((from my anxious brain))

I’d rather know and accept and be able to handle the worst-case scenario than to live in an unsteady supposed bliss that runs an undercurrent of constant fear
