SUMMARY:Have a difficult conversation about money with someone important to you
DESCRIPTION:I don’t know how we’re going to pay\nnext months’ mortgage.\nI found it hardest to talk to others about finances when things were worse than\ntight. When revenues last month were ok but this month I’ve got a customer\nwho’s slow in paying and I don’t know where we sort the months’ bills from.\nEarly on in my time working for myself, following redundancy, it was a real\nchallenge to work week to week and month to month to make sure bills were\npaid. Worth noting at this point I had little to no goals, plans or visions and\nthe purpose of working for myself at this point was to prove a point to myself\nand others (outside of my circle of influence) that I was good enough and\nredundancy wouldn’t stop me.\nSo as I ran head first in to proving this point I was soon to be tripped up with\nimpending bills that couldn’t get paid. I kept this to myself and it was making\nthe guilt and anxiety boil over. I couldn’t admit defeat I felt and talking to my\nwife about it would be a show of weakness that things aren’t ok and I should\ngo back to a proper job after all.\nI know what sense of dread and guilt can feel like and encourage you all to\nrelease the pressure and share your worries and difficulties – however big or\nsmall they might be – and share them with someone important to you.\nI found it incredibly refreshing and like a weight was lifted from my shoulders\nhaving spoken to the wife about it after I got over myself and realise I needed\nto share my concerns. It’s a conversation I’ll have with my kids as they grow\nup and will continue to encourage everyone to have that conversation about\nmoney that they might otherwise be putting off.\n
