How To Budget When You're Anxious About Money
Begin with a five-minute check of your current balance and upcoming essentials, then choose one small adjustment instead of building a complete budget in one sitting.
Set a timer, write down only the facts you need this week, and stop when the timer ends. The aim is to make looking at your money repeatable.
