WHAT DOES FINANCIAL STRESS LOOK LIKE?
Money stress can show up in different ways. Recognizing it is a useful first step.
I KEEP WORRYING ABOUT MONEY
You think about money constantly, even when there is nothing you can do at that moment.
I AVOID MY BILLS
Opening letters, emails or bank messages feels overwhelming, so you put them off.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I CAN AFFORD
You are unsure what is available after your essential costs are paid.
I FEEL LIKE I AM ALWAYS BEHIND
You keep catching up, but another payment or expense seems to appear.
MONEY IS AFFECTING MY SLEEP
Financial worries are making it harder to switch off and rest.
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START
There are so many things to deal with that doing nothing feels easier.
GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
Financial stress becomes harder to manage when everything stays in your head. Put it somewhere you can see it. Then choose one thing you can act on.
