In divorce or after the death of a spouse most of us are quick to seek help.
We often turn to health professionals to better understand our heartache and how to make it well again. But while looking after your well-being is critical to your emotional health, don’t ignore the health of your financial situation.
Perhaps you ignored this while married. If you’re now alone, this lack of knowledge may be the root cause of your fear and anxiety .
Odd, but most of us don’t think of getting a professional money coach to help us handle specific issues that seem too complex or difficult to resolve on our own. Yet in many cases, talking to a money coach is the best and quickest way to intervene and stop recurrent money problems.
Over and over again, I hear the common refrain: “I don’t have money to invest, therefore I don’t need help with my money.” Yes, money management does encompass the outer game of wealth building and security. It is, however, more than just investing . It can include:
Credit and debt
management
Insurance
- disability, loss of wages, health, etc.
Children’s education plans
Tax strategies
Investment strategies
Succession planning
Business succession planning
A money coach professional can help you manage your thoughts so you have the tools and resources to take action to ensure that you’re protected and able to select the right resources to support your emotional and financial well-being.
By trying to answer some of today’s questions, you’re starting on a path to financial healing. This is an enormous step and one that is guaranteed to help build a foundation for healthy self-esteem . Something to think about.
