family money talkWhen it comes to your finances, you may also like to be in full control of things at all times. However, that’s not always the case. A lot of the time, you may find that there are lots of things going in the world or in your own life that can stop that from being the case. And that’s okay – it happens. But the best thing you can do is to either be prepared, or make sure that you’re able to react in the best possible way. Now, as we all know, there’s currently a global pandemic going on and that can be something that affects your finances. If you’re not currently working or you fear for your job, you may be in a space of life where you’re a little worried. But you needn’t be. Instead, you need to make sure that you can be prepared and try to get your finances in order.

Now, no matter what’s going n in the world, you can always take your finances into your own hands. This can often be a bit scary. You may be something that is focusing a lot of their energy on what’s going on and panicking. But that doesn’t get you anywhere. Instead, it’s something that will make things a lot worse for you. So you need to go back to basics and focus on the financial lessons you know work. Then, you will be in a much better place. Let’s take a look.

Think Before You Spend

To begin with, what you need to start doing right now is to think before you spend. When you know that you have to be a lot more careful with money, it’s essential that you’re able to think twice every time you spend. It will help.

Cut Back Where You Can

As a step on from that, you need to think about cutting back a bit. Because if you want to be careful, then you have to make sure that you’re cutting back. This is a good idea if you know that you want to stop your disposable spending, so that you can save for the essentials.

Assess Your Habits

The next thing that you need to be able to do is take a look at your spending habits. When you’re looking to save money, one of the best things you can do is take a look at exactly how you spend. Because you have habits – we all do. And you need to be able to make sure that you’re not slipping back into bad habits that make you spend too much. This can especially be the case when you need to cut back. So make sure that you adopt new habits.

Put Something Into Savings

From here, wherever you can, it’s a great idea to consider putting something into savings. Now, you may not be able to do that right now and that’s okay. However, if you do manage to save more money, store it away in case you need it later on down the line.

Switch Your Bills

At the same time, you might want to consider how you can save money on your bills too. While you may not be able to cut back here because your bills are necessary, you can think about reducing the cost of them. And it’s definitely a good idea to look at switching them to a better deal. So make sure that you consider calling around and seeing what sort of deal you can get. This might be able to help you to save a lot of money that you can use on some of the essentials right now.

Earn To Aim More

Another thing that you can do is look to try and aim for more money. If you are working, can you take on more? Or if you’re no longer employed, can you look to take on a second job or something casual to earn more? This could really help you to get back on track financially.

Start A Side Hustle

Or, maybe what you really want to be doing is starting a side hustle? This is something that you may not always consider doing or you might have thought of but you’re a little scared. Yet, when you’re at the stage where you feel like you really want to be able to grow, it can be perfect. So have a think about what value you can bring and how you can think outside the box and consider growing your income in a new way.

Consider Alternative Options

However from here, you may also want to consider some alternative options that don’t always seem that obvious to you. Maybe you’ve tried some of the more traditional options and you’re still not sure what to do? It could be good to speak to financial advisors about bankruptcy here. And if you’re worried what happens to your student loans if you file for bankruptcy, ask for help. It could be the best option for you right now.

Utilize Your Home

Another option that you’re always going to have is the idea of utilizing your home. If you have space in the house, it could be that you’re not able to use it as much as possible. There are lots of different ways that you can make money from your property, and it’s a great idea to try and utilize it as much as you can. You could consider helping to save on your bills by making more money from it.

Prepare For The Future

Finally, you’re going to want to make sure that you’re preparing for the future. And the idea of this can be interpreted in a range of ways. Firstly, it’s important to think about what will happen when all of this is over. Because you’ll want to work out where you’re going to go from here financially. How you want to make money and when. But then also, you may want to think about your future in terms of retirement – because situations like this always show you that you need to prepare.

There's no denying the new year is in full swing and for many, it's been tough to get back on track let alone keep up with new year's resolutions. That's why I'm so glad I discovered @drinksunwink !

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 As you can see, I take Christmas very seriously 😂 Haha, a candid photo of me putting on my jacket before continuing to explore the magical @123farmorganics turned out to be my fave ridiculous holiday photo this year. The setting was so magical and while my face looks less than happy and appropriate for this 2020 holiday season, I can assure you that I’m all feels, holly, jolly and all jingle bell rock! I love Christmas, even  more so this year as it is allowing me to spend some comfortable quiet time in my holiday home while reflecting on the year behind me as well as looking toward the year ahead. I am so grateful for all I have and what is to come  and I wish you all a very happy and merry Christmas 🎄 #christmas #holiday #holidayseason #2020 #merrychristmas #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #christmaseve 1K 23
