[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, both of you!

I’ll pull the trigger. Any advice for not worrying myself to death for the next 3 months? I hate that I have this financial anxiety. I know everything will be alright in the end—it always is—but the worrying sucks![/quote]

Plan for your worst case scenario. Make a plan for how you'd access $2,500 in an emergency (pull from your 401k, open a 0% credit card, sell something, pick up gig work or a side job, etc). Don't plan to do all of them, just pick the one that might work best for you and think through the mechanics of how you'd execute it. Then when you start to worry, remind yourself that you have a plan and know what you will do if the worst happens.

The other tip for anxiety is to set aside a defined amount of time (like 5-10 mins) in the day to allow yourself to think/worry about finances. And if those thoughts creep in at other times, have a plan to distract yourself and make yourself wait for the worry time. This allows you to feel the feelings, but in a constrained way and keeps them from permeating into other areas of your day/life.[/quote]
Great advice. Thanks so much!

I debated posting, but I’m really glad I did. This has been so helpful. [/quote]
