Worries are one of our biggest challenges in life. We worry about anything and everything. Things haven't happened, couldn't happen, and most importantly - things that our mind is certain will occur.
-
"What if we never see that person again?"
"What did we do wrong?"
"We'll never be able to pay off our debt."
-
We've always had the "what if" mindset growing up. You see, we find that, it help us ensure that no matter what happens, we will have control over the outcome. We will be prepared if any of those "what-ifs" actually happen because we thought about them.
-
The truth of the matter is that we all worry. Some of us just tend to do it more than others. Some of us worry because anxiety and stress. Some of us worry to show that we care. It's, what we call normal. Although, we'll be the first to admit that it straight up sucks. But some weird way, it IS NORMAL.

My friend turn 30 today! And she's been doing a lot of reminiscing about the last decade of her life. she has been reflecting on the essential financial lessons she learned throughout the many mistakes she made. And this one is by far, her favourite.

Why? Because when she was in debt and hiding the fact the she was trying to pay it off aggressively, she was always anxious about having to say no to events, people and opportunities. The first time she told someone, "She can't afford that," was freeing. And it was at her dentist's office. They ask her if she wanted an additional cleaning service, and she wondered how much it would cost. The nurse asked me. And instead of saying 'okay' and stressing about it later, she told the nurse she couldn’t afford it. The nurse was so kind, she put a note on my file saying to always ask about added cost services for financial reasons, and it was the best relief my friend could have at the moment.

From that appointment forward, she started to be more straightforward with friends and family and told them what her financial goals were so that they would be more understanding if she had to turn them down.

Note: When you're in debt, you think everyone else is doing better than you, and that there is no way they are struggling - but you'd be surprised how many people are. So, although it's not always easy, it wildly empowering to vocalised your financial aspirations. It only take her 25 years to learn that. Sharing so you might be able to shave off a couple of years.

What's your best financial lesson so far?
