Practise money mindfulness while managing your finances

With living expenses on the rise, managing your money has become even more important. Budgeting isn’t always easy, especially when emotions get involved. Here are some tips to help you change your relationship with money and get on track to achieve your financial goals.

TOP TIP #1 Check in on your attitude towards money

Become mindful of how you feel when you check your bank account balances. The focus is to understand the feelings you generally associate with money, particularly when it comes to your personal financial situation.

TOP TIP #2

Envision your financial future

Think about what you want your future to look like - from the house or car you want to own to the balance you’d like to see in your bank account. Lay all the cards on the table. Keep your emotional relationship with money in check while you do this.
