Some people avoid dealing with their money life, because they feel it will make them stressed and anxious. But I would equate that to sitting in a dark room, scared to turn on the lights, because you know you’ll be frightened. If you know you’re going to be scared if you turn on the lights, wouldn’t you want to SEE what’s going to frighten you?
Don’t be afraid to look at your bank or credit card statement, make a list of your bills, add up how much you spend on take-out every week.
Spending time organizing your Money Life in a way that creates awareness can help you prepare for the unexpected and plan for the future. Turn on the lights in that scary room! This can help bring peace instead of anxiety.
