Left over month at the end of the money will inevitably cause a little financial stress. And living your life from a position of financial stress will, over time, prove to be incredibly debilitating. Financial stress affects every aspect of your life because it threatens your very existence. If your cash flow situation is such that you are struggling just to maintain basic survival mode, then there is bound to be plenty of stress in your life. Unfortunately, stress is none too productive.
Stress is a somewhat cyclical trap that serves to create more stress while it perpetuates struggle.
If you are stuck in stress mode then, despite your effort to improve the quality of your life, you may be merely creating more things to stress about. That s how stress works on a soul. I know from personal experience that when you are struggling with financial stress, every aspect of your life pares down to that dilemma. When we take on extra jobs and projects in order to satisfy the insatiable needs of our demanding budgets, other aspects of our lives fall by the wayside. Our families are neglected, our social lives sink, and there isn t one moment in the day that can be dedicated to taking care of our personal selves, properly.
