Start a conversation
Before talking to your partner, consider reaching out to a financial advisor or your money-savvy friends. This will be a huge relief before confronting your significant other. The more you open up, the less isolated you’ll feel. Break the money taboo within your social circle, you will be surprised to see you’re not the only one with money troubles. They are more common than we think.
Accepting your situation will allow you to be honest and vocal. After that, planning your next steps gets easier. Talk to your financial counsellor and keep your loved ones updated. Pushing your financial problem to the back of your mind isn’t the solution.
Reframing the crisis as an opportunity
Revisiting your relationship with money opens doors to greater peace and prosperity. Your current situation is an opportunity to take charge of things you’ve neglected. Rather than carrying financial baggage, learn from them. Be kinder to yourself and work on getting out of the hole.
