Making Change(s) is Hard

Habits Are Hard To Break
Change, in any form, is a process, and it ain't easy. It is even more challenging when we are dealing with a long-standing belief or habit. Then trying to change can become downright painful, even crippling, when we are dealing with things that havwe an emotional hold on us. And make no mistake...
And money is one of those things.
See, money isn't math. It's not just numbers and figures. Math is math. Money is much more complex, and it brings with it a lot of emotional factors, and we all have a different mechanism when it comes to money. But usually we are lef to sort things out All On Our Own!
People would rather talk to someone else about anything, even their sex life, then discuss their money or finances.
Which only adds to the complexity that is the reality of sitting down and looking at your finances. This is a bugaboo that gets people all the time. Too often we are worried, but unsure of wha to do or where to go for help. Forget about actually seeking someone out or turning to a friend for help. It can be very overwhelming and adds to the stress and anxiety. But there are ways to get better with your money; having a budget, tracking what you spend, and putting a goal of something to be saving for
are all ways to ovecome some of the problems that we have with dealing with our money.
But it all comes back to change.
Change your thinking. Change the way you spend or think about saving.
You cannot be saving until you know what you are spending.
So the first thing you need to do is get a handle on what you spend, but also how you spend, and last, but most importantly...why you spend. We talk about delaying a purchase, or "cooling off" so we can adjust and ask, "Do I Really Need This Item - Today?" Once you are able to begin to understand that part of handling your money, then you can start the process of making adjustments in your finances.
