No idea where it originates from, given I’ve always had everything I needed and wanted and there has never been a prolonged period of time in my life where I have gone without.
DH and I far from well off, but earning low to average salaries and covering bills with plenty spare for treats and discretionary spending. I try to save. Apart from a small car loan we have no debt at all.
We have back up funds if needed, plus supportive family who would always help, yet I still OBSESS over having no money and it’s preventing me just being in the moment and relaxing. We are trying for a baby and no matter how many different plans or budgets I make, I still ruminate about being stretched when paying for childcare or a big bill coming out of nowhere
Is anyone else like this? Feel as though the news and cost of living crisis doesn’t inspire one to relax about finances.
