Unless we’re born with a ton of money, most of us worry about our finances. Even if you’re not struggling to make ends meet, you may wonder if you’ll ever pay off your student loans, ever get out from under credit-card debt, ever own your house free and clear, ever manage to save enough to see you through retirement. Or maybe you’re sick of working but dare not quit your day job. All of these concerns (and more!) add up to one big issue: stress.
Funny is going to do a series on controlling financial stress, since personal finance and stress are part of this site’s theme. Over the next few weeks, here are the stress control strategies we’ll cover (not necessarily in this order):
1. Budgeting to cut worries
2. A frugal shopping mantra
3. Living minimalist
4. Paying off revolving debt
5. Living free of revolving debt
6. Focusing on what matters
7. Living beneath your means
8. Strategic stockpiling
9. Building a second income stream
10. Eating well and saving
11. Simplifying your financial life electronically
12. Paying yourself first
13. Planning for the kids’ education
14. Planning and saving for your own retirement
15. Paying off the house
So, watch this space! Over the next few weeks, Funny will revert to its orgins as a PF blog, becoming a little more finance-ish and a little less personal.
