How Taking Control of Your Finances is Good for Your Mental Health

High living costs are known to cause stress and anxiety, so with the current rising interest rates and soaring inflation, it’s no surprise that mental health issues caused by money is becoming an increasing concern.

With that in mind, creating a financial plan is more important now than ever. Knowing that you have a clear view of your finances, seeing clearly how your assets are being held and invested, can help ease your anxieties of money, letting you focus on the things that you enjoy.

So where do you start?

With the current state of the economic climate, it’s likely that others will be going through similar struggles, so the first step could be to talk to someone about your financial worries, whether that be a close friend, or family member.

Although, opening up about your struggles may be difficult to start with, sharing the anxiety about money with a close one can help halve your problems.

A trusted friend or relative may also be able to direct you to places where you can get guidance and support on issues that are worrying you. For example by looking at certain spending habits and helping you find new ways to save your money.

How can we help?

Creating a financial plan is much easier said than done. It can feel overwhelming and even intimidating. So, speaking to a specialist financial advisor, such as ourselves, can help ease these concerns, making it easier to take back control of your finances.

Another benefit of speaking to a financial advisor is gaining an objective point of view. For example, if your personal investment plummets overnight, the initial panic may tempt you to sell up at a big loss, whereas we would encourage you to hold on to your asset at times of the turbulent market climate resulting in further long-term gains.
