The holiday season is over, a new year has started and perhaps you are now feeling a little anxious about the money you may have spent, how overdrawn you may be, dreading your credit card bill, how the rising costs of living are putting pressure on your household budgets, how high interest rates are and how you are going to get back on track for the new year.
For others, perhaps you may have received a large Christmas bonus from work, won the lottery, recently sold your business or inherited a large sum of money and be anxious how or whether to spend it. Regardless of your financial situation, it is very common to start the new year with money anxiety.
Money anxiety (also known as financial anxiety) is a feeling of worry, unease or fear about money and when this worry is continuous, it can impact your everyday life, can cause you sleepless nights, affect your relationships and if the worry and anxiety become overwhelming, your mental health and well-being can negatively be impacted.
