A key step to stilling the waves of money anxiety is changing your idea of what money is. Shifting from seeing money as something you spend, to seeing it as something you put to work. Stillness starts with breathing space. With a positive gap between what comes in, and what goes out. There is a level below which this is incredibly difficult or impossible, but there are plenty of wise women in townships around South Africa who will teach you humbling lessons about financial planning. Without downplaying the challenge of finding work, or obstacles to developing skills and knowledge, the path to empowered decision-making lies in detaching from cycles of feast and famine. Stating the obvious, you need a source of income above your basic minimum needs. After that, the job your money gets is as important as the job you get.
