Topic: How do you deal with financial stress? (Read 2164 times)

The past few years after COVID-19 have been the absolute worst; everything keeps rising—petrol, daily groceries, electricity, housing—to the point where you're barely making ends meet. Just to imagine, I've been looking for an apartment for over 6 months and haven't found anything yet. Not only is there a very limited supply, but those available are either too expensive, poor, too small, or everything combined. Thus, this is creating a huge feeling of uncertainty, as time is running out and I need to get settled down. Renting outside of town in the nearby villages isn't ideal either, because petrol is way too expensive.

I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same, but this uncertainty with the increasing living costs and the ongoing rat race is causing me excessive stress. On top of that, moving out of the country doesn't seem ideal either, because most European cities are also suffering similar conditions, along with an extensive immigrant crisis (see France, Italy, Germany, and the UK). I'd be interested in remote working, but the economics field I've studied at university isn't in high demand for remote working, which often recruits IT workers and generally fields that require hands-on experience. As soon as I'm settled down, I'm considering taking up a data analysis course and finishing my master's degree in order to look for more opportunities abroad.

I don't know, but each year seems progressively worse. It wasn't that bad before COVID-19; now it's the ultimate worst I've seen, and it's about to deteriorate even further. Thankfully, this forum has been a blessing and probably the only thing giving me hope, as it has resulted in me making a decent sum of money in the process. I'm yet to start looking for a job, but salaries are relatively low, despite the increased cost of living. To make matters worse, excessive weather conditions due to climate change are happening way more often now, causing floods and wildfires and destroying everything in their path. See Libya, Greece, Italy, Spain, and many more examples.

Maybe I'm stressing out too much because I'm yet to find proper housing to establish myself again after being away for over a year in the military. I'm generally an anxious person myself, but does anyone else feel the same, and how do you deal with it? How do you stay optimistic?

Pressure whether minimal or severe, this is something that would really be that inevitable and this is really just that part specially when you are dealing with investment or business handling on which we know that when
risks do really happens then it would really be that something that makes us really that panicked nor even that getting worried on which i have said that its normal.

On the moment that you are on stress, then try out to divert your attention into something which would really be that making you forget at least that kind of stress.
Making some investment is stressful on which its already that a part of it, it is really just that there are individuals who are really that good when it comes to risks handling
and there are ones who do easily freak out on the moment that they are on such condition.

You wont really be able to survive nor sustain if you do let yourself not having that kind of good control. This is why you should really be assessing up yourself
first if you would be that able to handle it well or not.

I think man should a little pressure to handle the pressure situation because if you don't take pressure,you can't handle the high pressure. I am taking about a good pressure on your mind . About making your goals and achievements ,this pressure can help you a lot. Financial disaster can happen at any time if  you are a business man because every business take a loan from the bank which he invests in his business to grow or to expand the business but if he flops in his goal ,he and his family can come on road. That is my perspective and every man should ready for every kind of situation and he should hard for getting financial success.

I haven't faced any big financial hardships so far but whenever I do face a small one, I always try and take a step back because it really does help put things into perspective, makes you think more clearly because you see much better, you're not getting a tunnel vision because you can easily do things in a much focused way since you know how to deal with it without the worry of making mistakes. Another thing that can help with financial stress is the distraction, find other things to do beisdes your work and stuff, have some fun and you would be able to deal with it in a much chill way because you're not stressed about it anymore.

We have all been through the hardships of the pandemic and up to now everything has been fine.  When the pandemic hit at the beginning, i was very stressed because there were no customers visiting my place, in the end i survived with the rest of my savings and thank God everything was fine passed and my finances have improved, the point is we have to have savings that can cover ourselves and our family when emergencies arise.

I did the same thing as you selling online when my job or my office was closed. I had bills to pay every month even though I had no income at that time. The more I thought, the more stressed I became, so sometimes I didn't think too much about things. This is because we have to accept that when we are not well, I did what I could do, such as buying and selling online and in the end everything was fine until my financial condition improved over time.

Financial stress Major problem facing the developing countries due to bad government where the government has failed to make the environment business friendly by creating more jobs or empowering its citizens, especially countries that are facing economic crisis and where the unemployment rate is high. To deal with/tackle this, you have to accept the situation on the ground and think of a possible way of getting yourself out, possible way like engaging in more jobs that will increase your income if you have various skills.

Being an expert in various fields is of course very important in dealing with financial pressure, by having several skills I think this will help us in dealing with financial pressure, and for some people who think it is best for someone to master a certain field, there is nothing wrong with that, but this is is not a challenge for us and also the results we get will be very different from those who are able to master several areas of skill, I agree with you to continue developing the skills we have so that we can complete the things we do easily and will be able to get good results Also.

It is true, as you said, of course this is very easy to think about and to be able to do this requires hard work on our part and finding things that we can do and give us income, but if we are not yet experts in the field we like then we You can look for a course that teaches this and study it well so that you become an expert in that field and can do work and give us additional income from the skills we learn.

It made me remember about being a jack of all trades or being a master of one. You choose your career path and either of the two will give you that better financial living when you are being paid high with those career.

Many say that it's best to be a master of one, they're right.

And there goes the others to be a jack of all trades.

Both are true and real, but if you're starting out. It's always best to focus on one skill and grow with that until you master it and then move again to another one that you can learn and earn.

Having additional income or side line jobs is easy if you think about it but it's hard to do because if it's that easy, then all the people won't have a hard time finding another job and maybe there will be more of us saving money instead of just rants about not saving. Of course, it really helps if you have a side income, especially nowadays, all expenses are increasing due to economic inflation and nothing happens if we demand a higher salary rate because usually the companies we work for don't listen to that, so it's a wise decision. actually find another side hustle.

If the cash flow of our monthly expenses is not smooth, of course this will really stress us out because we cannot meet the needs we need properly and it is important for us to have other sources of income so that we will be able to meet the needs we need. Of course this will really help us, but if we don't know what we can do to have additional income, I think it would be better if we could explore the potential that exists within us and develop it so that we can do it better and of course give us income.
