Why you have it and what to do about it.
Financial stress is a response to a specific, often temporary, financial problem that can be resolved through specific action. As an example, you are about to close on a home purchase and are uncertain if loan underwriting will be completed in time. These stressors can be quickly alleviated with the right course of action and often resolve themselves in time.
Financial anxiety involves more pervasive worry that can paralyze action, making it difficult to address the core of a financial issue. We may not even be conscious of our anxiety, but it manifests itself through a general discomfort that can lead to suboptimal decision making.
Think of someone desperate to earn the approval of another, and in doing so unnaturally acquaint themselves with avarice. While not necessarily financially devastating, it can lead someone down a path into personal ruin.
It’s important to confront your anxiety to address its genesis. Only then can you begin to improve the quality of your life and move on to the next stage of your development.
This is the topic of discussion in today’s episode. Ben and Brent talk about how they’ve addressed financial anxiety and what to do when you inevitably face this ubiquitous force.
