Some people might be stressed about a credit card balance that keeps growing, or a bill they cannot seem to pay off.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to identify what specifically you are worried about and recognize what is triggering the stress for you \u2013 this also gives you some idea as to what needs to be addressed to solve the challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consider how you cope with this stress so you can be on the lookout for and avoid unhelpful (or further aggravating) coping habits. Some common areas to watch for might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you avoiding looking at your bills? Hiding account balances from your spouse or partner?<\/li>\n<li>Turning to coping strategies like overeating, substance abuse, overspending or gambling?<\/li>\n<li>Neglecting your health or \u201cpunishing\u201d yourself with negative self-talk or behavior?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><u>Put Plans in Writing and Keep Track<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Many people do not have a written personal budget or overall financial plan to refer to. Take some time today to get in \u201cpaperwork shape\u201d and restore some feelings of control \u2013 this will help you manage your money more efficiently by avoiding the stress of \u201cthe unknown\u201d and simply guessing. Start by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listing all your debts, with account balances, account numbers and the payment requirements;<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring you have a realistic household budget that balances, and commit to sticking to it; and,<\/li>\n<li>Keeping track of your income, and your actual spending.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have a spouse or partner get them involved in this planning too. Many people are surprised to learn just how much their spouse has been shouldering alone when it comes to organizing the household finances; it\u2019s important to get on the same page, and have financial goals you can work towards together.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: No one is born with money management skills \u2013 these things take time to learn and understand (and often some trial and error).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sands-trustee.com\/blog\/my-spouse-is-filing-for-bankruptcy-now-what\/\"><em>Read some Frequently Asked Questions about your Spouse Filing for Bankruptcy<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><u>Tackle Other Financial Items One Step at a Time<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As you move towards new habits, take note of other lingering financial \u201cto do\u2019s\u201d that can cause anxiety. Do you have any financial-related tasks you are always meaning to get to? Common examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overdue tax returns that should be filed;\n<ul>\n<li>Bump outstanding tax filings up your priority list \u2013 you could be missing out on benefits you are entitled to, or risking Canada Revenue Agency to prompt you to file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Looking into life insurance or setting up a Tax-Free Savings Account (or other retirement plans); and,<\/li>\n<li>Having a will written.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep track and celebrate your progress as you get these (often long-lingering) tasks completed.
