On this episode of the Money Confidence podcast, Sarah and Georgia talk about how to reduce financial stress.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you're worried about money then you're not alone. Money is a common source of stress for adults and Sarah and Georgia have both experienced this.

Being on top of your finances can help you feel less stressed and less overwhelmed with the situation.

The first thing you can do is to identify why you are feeling stressed or worried and to write these down.

Look at the things that you can do something about and put a plan in place. The plan needs to be realistic and achievable.

Look at ways to reduce your expenditure and ways you may be able to increase your income.

Think about what you're telling yourself about money and what you could be telling yourself instead.

Try and remain positive and ensure you take time out for self-care.

If you are struggling with debt then StepChange is a debt charity in the UK that can help you.
