[quote=Anonymous]OP, I've had a really rough year financially too.  I would never cry poverty because it would be disingenuous.  But, when you have money anxiety which you've managed by having significant savings, it's stressful not to be where you want them to be.  Anyway, I sat down and made a list of all of the bills so I would know how much we had left over for food, gas, clothes, vacations, savings, etc.  And, now we are working on things like not wasting food, not overbuying clothes.  We are putting vacations on hold for the next year - which honestly isn't that big of a hardship because one of my kids isn't old enough to do what I really want to do.  I think that within two years we will be back to where I want to be and then things will be quite a bit less stressful.  But during this time, at least twice a month I check our savings and spending, which is kind of crazy.  It helps though.

And, for those saying get a real problem, you are right.  I know my money anxiety has no basis in reality.  So, I would never talk about this in real life - only on an anonymous forum.
