Practising self care does not only mean taking care of your body, mind, and soul. You can also practise financial self care to ensure your finances are in a good place or at least, on their way there. In this article, you will learn how can do that.

How to practise financial self-care

By accessing your finances, you'll know where to start to improve your financial situation.

Take a snapshot of your finances

The first thing you can do is take a snapshot of your finances, which means checking where you are at financially without judging yourself. Once you have asserted how much you have, how much you owe and how much money is coming in and flowing out each month, you will know exactly where to start to improve your financial situation.

Create a budget

Now that you know where you stand with your finances, it’s time to set up a budget. Having a budget will help you to stay on course with your financial goals as you know exactly how much you can spend and on what.

Also, having a budget will give you insight into where you overspend and where you aren’t spending as much as you think.

Set up financial goals

Once you have set up a budget and you know how much you will be able to put aside each month, you should start setting yourself financial goals. These can be savings goals, investing goals or any other type of money-related goals such as cutting back on spending on certain luxuries.

Having financial goals enables you to work towards something, which, in turn, will keep you motivated to stick to your budget to attain your goals.

Don’t be afraid to get help

There is no shame in getting help when it comes to your finances. Talking to a financial advisor can be an excellent way of getting just the help you need to get your financial ducks in order.

Financial advisors usually charge per hour and will be able to answer any question you may have about money management and investing.

Set up a fun fund

Finally, you should set up a so-called “fun fund” that you can spend on little treats and fun activities that are outside of your normal budget but won’t steer you off the road towards your financial goals.
