If your employer offers a match to retirement savings contributions, make sure you are meeting requirements to receive that free money.  

Share with your spouse your knowledge of the financial management of household expenses – don’t leave them in the dark.

Contact your credit card issuer to negotiate a lower interest rate AND make a plan to pay off your outstanding balance.
