Feeling Insecure Can Be A Problem Financially

There has been a fear of financial insecurity in the news a lot over the past three years. If your emotions follow the economy or the stock market, it has been an up and down wild ride. So you do not worry you are not alone as everyone seems to be feeling insecure about money.

 

We have all experienced financial troubles or pressures some are caused by us while others are no fault of anyone. They just happen. That is kind of part of life. Because you are insecure or uncertain if can cause you to neglect your family or friends and work some obscene hours. It can cause you to lose sleep or worse lose your health.

 

So what is the answer? More is never an answer to financial stress, and yet everyone concludes when they are having financial problems. Everyone thinks they need is a new job or better job that pays more. I have counseled hundreds of people about money, people from every economic strata. What I have noticed is, those who made $30,000, thought the answer to their problems was just ten thousand more, and those who made $40,000 thought all they needed was another $20,000. I have had lawyers who made $100,000 who thought the answers to their problems were $25,000 more. Heart surgeons who believed the answer to their problems was another $100,000 than they were making. What is the discovery here? We always spend what we make, and as a result financial stress always has this way of following us no matter how much money we make.

 

The real problem with financial insecurity is that is can cause more emotions, like jealously and anger. So how do we overcome this? We look at what are our bare necessities and can we meet these? If yes, you have just found some security and revel in that. Your wants can come later. If you received an extra $10,000 today, how would it change your life? Would you spend all the money within days? Would you need another $10,000 just to get by? Security comes with confidence. On a separate piece of paper you can carry around with you answer these questions. 1) What's great about me? 2) What do I love about myself? 3) What can I appreciate about the day?
