Give yourself the chance to spend your money on a purchase that brings you happiness in the short term. It’s a valuable opportunity to practice mindful, values-driven spending, which is key for your mental well-being.
Discuss your goals and questions over a meal, or during a walk outside to get some fresh air (if you're able). Aligning on your finances is a key way to reduce stress and stay close during this time.
Anxiety during a pandemic can lead to impulsive shopping, but checking in with yourself ensures more mindful spending.
Whether that’s cancelling a membership or switching to a less
expensive cell phone plan for a few months, any funds you redirect to savings or an
emergency fund can bring you peace of mind during tough economic times.
