If you want to still the waves of money anxiety, you need to start with some fact finding. Where are you? For me that has changed in a pretty fundamental way. Quite often big life changes are a catalyst for relooking at your situation. I moved back to South Africa in December. That means thinking in Rands rather than Pounds. I spent the early part of my career getting my money jobs around the world. Building what I call an Engine. You don’t have to be the sole breadwinner. Your money can work too. Especially if you squeeze some space in between your hand and mouth. To create space, you need to have an idea of what you are spending. So for me, now... I have to wait for the dust to settle. As I adjust, the numbers are way bigger (thanks inflation!) than 13 years ago, and some of the basic ways things are done differ from up north. After a few months of paying attention, you can get an idea of the things you can expect. Then you can start to add space for the surprises. Then you can start building (or repairing) your Engine.
