 |Money has a wild impact on people's lives. Without it, you'll struggle to survive in society and risk being pushed out onto the street. With it, you might feel the ever-increasing temptation to keep spending to keep up with the Joneses. And for the rich, sometimes it can be quite deflating when you realize that you are not much happier than you were when you were reasonably well-off. We're not all taught how to treat and look after our wealth so that it can enhance our lives. And so, to build a better relationship between your mind and money, here are some tips below. Please note: The information contained in this article is not financial or mental health advice. If you are concerned about your health, please seek professional support from a doctor or hospital. This is a collaborative post.  Your Mental Health And Money RelationshipBuilding a better relationship with the money you work hard for is vital for overcoming and preventing periods of mental illness that could damage your cash flow. Respect In consideration of how much you worked to gain your money, stuffing your notes in your wallet or frequently dipping into your overdraft with a view that you'll just pay it off next month, shows that you have little respect for your cash. To change this habit, begin arranging your money in an organized wallet/purse. Keep separate bank accounts for bills, savings, and spending, and keep track of each coin you earn and spend. Even if it's loose change, don't let it fall down the back of the sofa or shove it in a drawer. Put it in a change box, you never know, someday you might need it. We're not all taught how to treat and look after our wealth so that it can enhance our lives. No one Earns Enough Get rid of the "I don't earn enough" mentality. Sometimes it's not what you earn, it's what you do with it that matters. A lot of people have a feeling they don't make enough, and so they begin to either work themselves too hard for extra cash until they burn out or start spiraling into debt by borrowing and before long it grows out of control. This is an endless rat race and will eventually take a toll on your mental health. Respect and work with what you have already, pay your bills, debts, save and leave some money for spending. And when you've paid off your debts, eventually you'll have more leftover to spend to enhance your current lifestyle.  Off Day If it's not necessary, don't make a financial decision on a bad day or a bad week even. If you're having out of character thoughts, your anxiety is making you feel on edge, or you're feeling down in the dumps, save your money decisions for a better day when your mind is clear, and your thoughts are calm and rational. Back-Up The only way to beat the debt cycle is - to not buy anything unnecessary, to overpay your debt and to save for emergency issues. Not every emergency can be accounted for in your savings right now, and so other means are necessary to consider. Such as health insurance. Find health insurance quotes online to gauge a price based on your personal details. Booking life insurance will cover you when times get tough, and when your savings won't stretch far enough to cover a traumatic impact on your family's life. Earning and building a better relationship with your money also means being methodical about where you invest it for those emergency moments that can change your entire life. Insurance, along with savings, could be the savior you need when you need it most.  Additional Resources: Looking for another topic? Try the search!
