"Managing Your Financial Fears"

---

Money, as the center and main pillar of so many of our lives, can sometimes be a fearful thing. However, it's not actually the money we fear, but rather the things associated, or caused by it.

Financial fears, however, can lead to further damage if not managed correctly, and has been the cause of economic ruin for many families and individuals in the past.

Here are the most common financial fears you might have, and how to manage it well:

---

1. Fear of Debts

Some people are afraid to get in debt at all, even avoid using a credit card. However, having a credit history is important when you need a bigger (and necessary) loans like a student loan or buying a house.

How to manage it:

Commonly this fear happens because you don't trust yourself in managing your own spending. To tackle this issue, get a card with a low limit, and train your discipline by only carrying it in a certain situation. Trusting, and training yourself to be in debt wisely can benefit you in the long run.

2. Fear of Planning Your Finances

Either for a budgeting plan or a saving goal, having a financial plan can be a terrifying act for many people. A lot of things can be the cause, but most of the time it's because they think it's too complicated, or that it will restrict their lifestyle too much. On the contrary, having a clear financial plan will mean you can spend with confidence.

Another common cause is an avoidance to review their current spending, in denial of overspending. However, sooner or later this issue must be faced, and will only benefit you more both in the short-term and long-term.

How to Manage it:

If you think budgeting and planning your finances are too complicated, break it down into several simpler steps. For example, rather than doing a monthly budget, make it weekly or even simply a budget for tomorrow until you're comfortable.

If your fear is about reviewing your financial situation, having someone you can talk with will help you greatly in the matter. If there's no one in your family or your friendship circle that can help, or can be trusted, you may want to try hiring a financial advisor. Financial advisors are cheaper than ever nowadays, and they can significantly improve your financial situations.

3. Fear of Honesty

We all were in a situation where we need to hide our purchase from someone. It can be your parents, your girlfriend/boyfriend, or your marital spouse. However, dishonesty can lead into further troubles both for the relationship itself and your financial situations.

How to Manage it:

Communication is key. Tell them that you are planning to manage your money better, and you are opening up with them to improve your habits and the situation. No matter how hard it is, honesty is always better in the long run.
