When it comes to mottos and mantras, money gets something of a bad rap: it can’t buy you happiness or love, while the best things in life are apparently free. But the truth is, while money can’t guarantee contentment by any means, managing and understanding it can have a huge impact on many different areas of your life. From the freedom to pursue career and education goals or personal dreams, to allowing you to make key life changes and feel secure if things don’t go to plan, financial security provides a foundation to build on and thrive from.
Although we might not consider ourselves ‘money people’, be driven to earn a certain salary, or find the whole topic confusing, stressful or scary, money impacts almost every aspect of our lives, and it’s vital – however big or small our bank balance – to engage with our financial situation, and develop healthy behaviours around it.
