We’re all feeling the impact of the higher cost of living. It’s hard to predict what’s going to happen in the coming months. How do you weather the storm financially?
Financial stress has a massive impact on relationships, mental and even physical health. So, the most important thing is to focus on what you can control. Don’t bury yourself in all the negatives and worstcase scenarios swirling around. Small amounts of time daily devoted to your mental health are invaluable. Take walks, get plenty of sleep, focus on a positive mindset, listen to music, or do an activity that helps you relax.
When you’re trying to keep the electricity on and mouths fed savings is not normally on your radar. Saving is a habit, so no matter how small I recommend setting a specific amount to put back and a specific time frame such as weekly, monthly, etc..
