We are certainly living in uncertain times all of a sudden, aren’t we? With everything going on worldwide with the virus outbreak, our sense of what was normal is gone. And in its place we’re left wondering if things will ever go back to normal…or if things will ever be that kind of normal again. This uncertainty is brining much fear and anxiety to the surface, and with countless people already out of work, the fear you might be feeling with your finances is real. Maybe you’re not prepared to withstand a huge drop in income, yet that might just be your reality. The thing is, however, there are things you can do to make better money decisions during these uncertain times. These things are fairly simple to do, although the execution is likely not going to be easy. But, before you can actually make any changes with your money, something needs to happen first. And that’s exactly what I’m sharing here.

Stop!

    As much as it stinks to be living during these stressful times, I see some real positives starting to emerge already. One of the major ones I see is already is it is helping us to identify where we aren’t prepared for if the unthinkable happens. Although it feels like the rug has been pulled out from underneath you, it’s possible to find your way upright again.

    As someone who has had the rug pulled out from beneath me and actually become debt-free further down the road, I’m proof that it’s possible to make better money decisions in the midst of a crisis.

    But, there is a crucial first step.

    You can watch the video about this below, or keep reading.

    The first step in making better money decisions during a crisis continues below

    how to make good money decisions during times of crisis

    Here’s where you need to start.

    Commit to spending no unnecessary money for one week

    Doing this will allow the dust to settle on your finances so you’ll be ready to move forward with the targeted money saving skill I show you HERE

    Next, gather all your statements and receipts

    This means gather together all your credit card statements, bank statements, and receipts. You’ll need them in the next step.

    Make it easier to stop spending money

    The truth is there is no shortage of opportunities to spend your hard-earned money. And during times of crisis, this is just not a good thing. While my hope for you is that you only spend money you intend on spending, you’re bombarded by countless opportunities to buy, buy, buy.

    Here are two things I challenge you to do to make it easier to stop spending money during uncertain times.

    • Unsubscribe from your 3 favorite stores’ emails. This means you’ll be tempted less.
    • Steer clear from your favorite shopping websites. Of course you know this will likely mean less shopping.emergency fund shortcuts

    Extra credit

    Decide on what the difference is between buying things you want and things you need. Knowing the difference between a want and a need will help you spend or not spend your money with more intentional.

    I will also say that most times, we would say that something is a need right away, only to find that it is actually a want once a bit of time passes.

    Giving in to wants isn’t necessarily bad, but when you’re trying to manage your money during times of crisis it’s highly probable that giving in to wants less often will be necessary.

    These are the essential skills to do right now when it comes to making better money decisions during times of crisis. Tomorrow, I’ll share the next step!

    Took the tree down today. It will be making the go Took the tree down today. It will be making the goats down the street at @three.acre.farm happy soon. Ornaments are a work in progress. System. It’s all about systems. When people ask how we can stay on top of things in our home, systems is always my answer. There is a system for everything. Including the Christmas tree. Nothing ever goes exactly as planned, but a system helps keep you on top rather than feeling like you’re always swallowed up by the crazy.  Life can be easier. It’s all about coming up with systems based on what isn’t working. So, you figure out how to make it work better. And you try it. See how it goes. 

This year is the year our Christmas tree system is finally brilliant. It’s only been 5+ years in the making. 

What systems would make your life easier? I share mine all the time in case they’ll help you.

    My favorite Christmas gift. One of my daughters ha My favorite Christmas gift. One of my daughters hand lettered this for me. She chose this verse for me - she knows it’s a verse I need to sear into my heart. Then she put it in this frame. Now, it is the most important thing on my desk. This might be the most treasured possession I ever have.
